Vintage Sports Collectibles Now up for bids at the ebay web auction:


Harry Wright - Kalamazoo Bats:  One of the most collectible of the old
tobacco baseball card issues.  This card depicts Harry Wright, a member
of the Baseball Hall of Fame, and one of the originators of the modern
game of baseball.  It was issued in 1887, and is part of a set
designated N690, Kalamazoo Bats.  The card is in Good condition.  The
edges and corners are sharp.  There are small stains on the back. 
Unfortunately, the card was folded at some time and there is a large
crease across the center.  This is depicted in the scan included here. 
If this was no present, the card would probably grade at Fine
condition.  The book value for the card is $1,500 to $5,000.  Click here

Here are some other great sports collectibles now on the web auction:

1963 Yakees Pennant Banner and Team Photo. This banner
commemorates the winning 1963 New York Yankees. Here are all the
immortals: Mickey Mantle, Roger Marris, (the original M & M's), Yogi
Berra - one of the greatest teams in the history of the game. This
banner is in Good to Fine condition. The banner is all intact. It has
small holes in the margins where it was pinned up somewhere (probably a
little boy's room out in the Midwest where he could only hear the games
over the radio). The color has moderately faded to a wonderful patina.
The team picture is creased in several places but the paper is not torn.
The photographic images is strong. A clear plastic banner holder is
included. This banner is pure nostalgia.  Click here:

Original Artwork - Jimmy Tygh, lightweight contender from Philadelphia.
As the portrait says, he was Irish and started fighting in 1937. He was
22 when this portrait was made and had 50 fights under his belt. This is
the original pen and wash drawing that was made for the newspaper or a
boxing program. I especially like the image in the backgroud where the
guy is getting his teeth knocked out. The artist's signature was painted
over when the image was prepared for printing. You can just make it out
but I cannot read the name. Size is 10 x 12in. Mounted on board. This
item is in perfect condition. It would look great framed over a bar.
This is an item of old-time sports memorabilia you don't find everyday.
