Got this a couple months back, 1950 Yakima Bears Pitcher/Owner/President of the League, Dewey Soriano (nearly one year owner of the Seattle Pilots ) wire photo....
...and just got this, 1950 "Yakima Club Manager Joe Orengo" signed something. Does anyone recognize where this item is from? It is a cut image of Joe Orengo, with Lefty O'doul's name and a disembodied head (might be PCL related?)....

Re: June Pick Ups
Looks like it might be something that depicted all the managers of the that league and Lefty was the VP? Or maybe a Yakima item? Looks like the word on the left is a lopped off "manager".
Re: June Pick Ups
The Yakima postcard is really unusual. It sort of seems like Orengo is photobombing, or sticking his head up like a whack-a-mole. But I like it.
Nice Rusie, Blair!

Thanks, Jamie!
After not owning a single OJ after many years of collecting, I seem to have been bitten by the bug recently...happened right about the time I got that damn book. Oh well, fun to delve into something new - keeps it fresh!
And I also was happy to learn that the proceeds from the new-to-market collection including the Rusie would help the elderly consignors do some needed repairs on their home following Hurricane Sandy...good card and good cause.

If you want my advice, sell all your other cards and just buy OJ's. There is something special about those cards that just keeps you going... they are so real and retrospective of the time period. No offense, but they make even T206's just seem cheap and crappy! Maybe it is the photography, or the specialness of entering a new time period that seems so cut off from baseball as we know it today, but there is just nothing better than 19th century material like OJ's, as well as some of the other incredible sepia-rarities of that era, which are almost unobtainable in price. But the OJ's should retain their value as time marches on just due to the exquisite nature and age of the cards, not to mention the charismatic poses! One day it will gain its true stature as the greatest set of all time, not the highly produced T206's. The creativity of OJ's just can't be matched, and that's the end of my spiel for today! Time to get off my soapbox...

Re: June Pick Ups
Originally I had decided to keep this discreet, because I didn't want it showing up in Google searches that I had moved on and acquired a card like this.
However, this is where I started, and it just didn't feel right keeping this from you guys.
Anyway, I picked this up last month. It will be the centerpiece of my collection for the next 50 years I'm sure.
So let's hope I don't get shill bid and taken advantage of in future sales for letting this out of the bag.

Chris (Though we've never met, I'm presuming to call you that because everyone else here is):
Please don't ever keep a significant Mathewson card secret. (And frankly, is there any such thing as an insignificant Mathewson card?)
At any rate, congrats. A wonderful acquisition. Kudos.

good deal sharing with members here Chris...better lay off the Chinese food if you want to make it to 80! i should know just had some last night
...and don't worry about google outing you. i don't think 80% of the new collectors out there know what a JK & A is. they know "freak", "printer scrap", "blue old mill", "factory number", etc. hell no they would even look up what you're doing.
