The winner last night was: GTT
Here we go. My dealer buddy Fred had put away a couple of vintage baseball games for me. Just a reminder this show was the weekend after Hurricane Ian, just a day after clearing Jax itself. I will do 3 posts highlighting everything I got from Fred with a hundred dollar bill.
Here I am just highlighting a few of the small pennants. I'll show a bunch more tomorrow. The pics are in the reverse order of my scans (again). I don't get how or why it does that. This is the 2nd time this year. The pennants were the last two scans for tonight, so oh well.
The small pennants and the patches, decals, coins, etc were in a small box. I was grabbing everything that was interesting and throwing into the box that had my games sitting in it.
A few 8x10's.
Lots of odd ball items, the 3 above have made their way to someone else already.
This one is heading to an OCT buddy. I wish the cover was there, pretty sure it is missing several pages too.
Topps poster.
More odd ball items.
This card did not survive the removal from the packaging, alas sitting in the landfill.
This too is heading to my OCT buddy. Which reminds me I should probably get them mailed off.
These quad cards definitely considered odd ball.
This was in that small tub/box. It is a sticker.
Ooh, vintage pennants. So cool.
ReplyDeleteThe Clemente Hall Of Fame plaque card was issued before they corrected his name to reflect the Latin American custom of the having the mother's maiden name (Walker) come after the birth name.
ReplyDeleteSweet! I do enjoy the oddballs, keep em coming!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to GTT on getting chosen. I had some of those quad cards, but whoever had them before me glued them to tagboard material and the backs were destroyed when someone tried to remove them. Oh well! Can't win them all.
ReplyDeleteYou're always finding such cool stuff...especially cool is that NY Giants schedule.
ReplyDeleteGOOD JOB! 👍
I wonder who those Dodgers items went to. :)
ReplyDeleteSome interesting stuff there. Was the NY giants schedule on the back of a cloth patch? (From Bo, might say anonymous)
ReplyDeleteThe scan above is actually a patch no schedule even though it says so. It is just a patch.
DeleteThose old pennants are pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThat Mantle is interesting. I figured I would’ve seen something about it in a Beckett from that era or seen it at a Wal-Mart back then, but this is the first I’ve heard of the card.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see the different things out there.
ReplyDeleteI really don't own as many of those Topps Posters as I should.
ReplyDeleteThe penants are great! Was the Mantle regular sized or a mini? Bummer it didn't survive
ReplyDeleteregular size card.
DeleteInteresting items...not really from the era I follow though. Maybe it's due to being born in 1983, but the "vintage" doesn't really interest me as much. I had some 1971 pins at one time...wound up giving the Dodgers pins to Night Owl and selling the rest for cheap on Facebook, which I then used to finish my Topps 2010 set earlier this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm experiencing some déjà vu with some of those Dodgers items after just finishing Night Owl's post. That Lombardi photo is fantastic as well as those pennants. Kind of a bummer about that Mantle though... that would have been a pretty cool collectible.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to put that Lombardo in your next box of stuff.
DeleteThat roller derby sticker sure is neat. You never see stuff like that on the blogs.
