The 1981 Dodgers Reunion Show This Saturday

This looks like a big show for autograph hounds. Frank & Sons in the City of Industry will be hosting the 1981 Dodgers Reunion show at their weekly collectors exhibit show tomorrow. It figures to be a pretty big event.

I wish I could be there, but I had already made a commitment to help some good friends of mine move-in to their first home. Robbie, you owe me one!

Go here for more details regarding cost and appearance times.

UPDATE: BTW, I thought I would make this friendly reminder to tell you about The Calendar Page for this blog. In the Calendar I note down various autograph opportunities available throughout the southland. It not only includes Dodgers events, but other team and sports, as well. I include MMA, Basketball, Football, Hockey and MLS- just to name a few. The Calendar can be reached near the top of this blog by clicking calendar or can be seen along the far right sidebar, towards the lower half of the page.

An Early Look at Topps 2012 Gypsy Queen Cards

I really like this new design for next seasons 2012 Topps Gypsy Queen Set. Even better is the above Sandy Koufax autograph card. Heck, the Indian Head Penny's embedded within the cards below would look mighty nice in my collection. The set is expected to be released on April 18th. All I can say is that the Baseball season couldn't come any faster.

SCP: More Dodger Goodies

Yesterday, I featured some great items available in SCP's current auction. Today, I show a couple of more Dodger related pieces I thought worth taking a look at.

Here is a ticket stub from Sandy Koufax's perfect game against Chicago on September 9, 1965. He blanked the Cubs 1 to 0.

This is a 1955-58 Duke Snider game used Baseball bat. It was once a part of a homemade bar stool made with gamer bats that included Yogi Berra, Ted Williams, and Mickey Mantle.
