Made it home about an hour ago. I feel like crap. I'm getting sick, which caused me to get little sleep last night. I tried sleeping the first half of the drive home but that wasn't happening. I had to drive the second half. I'm exhausted and do not feel like unpacking everything right now. I should be getting some scans up later tonight or tomorrow of my mail

Florida is outstanding! A co-worker and I bought Spring training tickets for the weekend of 6-8 Mar. We're going to watch the Yankees play Pittsburgh on the 6th and the Nationals on the 8th in Tampa at George Steinbrenner Stadium. The 7th is reserved for LCS hunting.

NIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!

One of these days.......
For those that have attended, are there a good bit of items from, say, the late 60's of a certain New York baseball team not named the Yankee's?;-)

That's pretty much what I figured. I like looking thru the pictures/videos that are posted from the floor. It seems like it's almost a mini Cooperstown with all the exhibits.

Well, bit the bullet.

Posting some Misc. stuff tonite to pay for some upcoming buys (I hope).

Totally random stuff, including some IMAX movie posters. But I have no idea about shipping on them, so that should be interesting. $6 sound fair?

But I should do well with a Steelers authentic jersey the Local Goodwill had out for $1.50. Should get about $30ish for it!

What do you guys think?
Reputable auction house. States it has a "COA" but doesn't say from whom. Hat looks like it could be from the era.

Chance at being real? What amount would you risk at that chance?

 

[michaelstepper]

It looks to be in really good condition for the age. Kept locked away? Game used or just a wool cap?
I don't know enough about his auto to give a definate thought. but the entire thing looks almost to good to be true.

It's part of a MASSIVE collection that has a Ruth baseball, Mantle-signed glove.. a lot of signed vintage gloves, in fact, from the 20's - the 40's. The weird thing about this item is that it's the only "high end" item without a reserve. There's a lot of signed baseballs with no reserves. I figured it may have been a mistake, but I may take a shot, anyway. Only a day and a half left until close with hardly any auction action.
