That is one tiny Major League bat, above!  BTW, the Gaedel bat sold for a little over $44k.  I'm amazed it's taken this long for Spahn's collection to his the auction circuit.

I want this card badly.  You just can't beat a Jackie and Satchel autographed card.

I love this vintage equipment display.

This sort of thing is awesome. Pre war cards are one thing, pre war memorabilia is another. #nsccshow pic.twitter.com/1Q6ZZHI9h7

Here's some 19th Century Baseball cards.  On the top left is a stack of T3 Turkey Red cabinet cards.  On the far bottom right is a Mayo Cut plug.  The rest of the cards are Old Judge tobacco cards.
