A few years back I picked up this full toy watch cardboard sales card.
The main reason I picked it up was the "baseball" theme - the card is a TV with a player at bat.
Best I could tell - this item is 50/60s?

Here's an old can of Joe Louis hair pomade. There's still quite a bit of pomade in it.
Here's an old Jack Dempsey whiskey bottle. I've also got a 1/10 pint bottle that is in much better shape, with the tax stamp and everything.

Here is a little folk art. It is a 3/4" thick wood cartoon cutout of Frank Robinson that has been signed in black Sharpie. I think it looks just like him!
An interesting thing about this is that when I got it a few years ago, the bat was missing. A few weeks ago, I was in our kitchen and somehow a wood piece on our wood paper towel holder got broken. I looked at it and said, "Hmm, I think I might be able to use that. So, I widdled it down on the end with my knife and it fit right into his hands. Now, he has a brand new bat!

Edited to add old picture of Charlie with the helmet.
the owner got in a truck load of printer type stuff...
needless to say, I wound up getting this piece...

Here's one of mine that is card related. Sports card locker from the 1970's. Usually, these are found in ok condition. This one is close to mint. The team stickers are still there and unused.

<< <i>What is Pomade made of ? >>
By reading the directions for use, I would guess animal fat of some kind. Sort of like a crisco oil. But this is just a guess.
In the early 19th century bear fat was a common pomade ingredient,[2] but by the early 20th century petroleum jelly,[3] beeswax, and lard were more commonly used.[4]
Pomades were once much more popular than they are today, although they have made somewhat of a comeback in 2010 with recent additions to the marketplace that feature far less lanolin or bees wax in their formulations. They are associated with the slick men's hairstyles of the early to middle 20th century. Other more modern hairstyles involving the use of pomade include the Ducktail, Pompadour, and Quiff.
Early 20th century examples of pomade are Royal Crown Hair Dressing, originating in 1936 pictured above, or "Murray's Superior Pomade", originating in the 1920s [5] pictured right. Dixie Peach Hair Pomade was a popular pomade in the USA from World War II through the 1960s with teenage boys.
My guess from above was pretty close.

Here's a set that's not only "odd" but just plain Ugly. I presented these years ago - and put it together piece by piece - it's actually cheaper and easier to buy it complete.
1952 Baseball Emblems
They were made by the C. McDonald MFG, Co, No Wilbraham, Mass. – copyright – 1952.
They can be used to display on your car, bike or used as an ice scraper.
There are 16 teams to the checklist – I put them in the order the teams finished the 1952 season – in the WS – the Dodgers faced the Yanks – Yanks prevailed of course.
American League
1. Yanks
2. Indians
3. White Sox
4. Athletics
5. Senators
6. Red Sox
7. Browns
8. Tigers
National League
1. Dodgers
2. Giants
3. Cardinals
4. Phillies
5. Cubs
6. Reds
7. Braves
8. Pirates

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!!!
Nothing better than a collectible that when used properly, keeps you safe and limits the possibility of adding another collector to the hobby. I wonder if it is transparent? And thankfully, it wasn't "game used" by the Splendid Splinter, because that would be a different "insert" altogether and would have to be PSA/DNA certified!

I'm shocked that Anthony's didn't come back Min Size Req.
The "odd" or the unusual is what interests me - many of the games I collect fall in that category. Picked up a few tonite - will be showing when they come in.
Here's another - tho I have quite a bit of "Mick" stuff - this one is somewhat grotesquely odd.

HIPPA was enacted in 1996. It was enacted in August of '96 and the All Star game was a month before that.

Wow... talk about a letdown.
Leon, I really expected some really esoteric issue with a quarter next to it.

I've actually owned two of them in my lifetime. Both bought at estate sales. Both had different boxes than that one, one more black and white (with the red). Each had Mantle's face on the box and in the instruction manuals...So for the true oddball collector, not only could you own a "Mickey Mantle Isometric Minute-A-Day Gym", but you could own several different versions of the box.
I did at one point have a Joe Namath Popcorn Popper...

The coke clock is "odd" to my collection - I saw it on ebay a few years back and it reminded me of the clock that was in the candy store I frequented as a kid.
Just think - the place ya go for that much anticipated "next" edition of Superman - a cold coke - a candy bar - a pack of Topps: hoping for a Duke Snider card....
