Andersen's Fairy Tales - Beautiful Edition


Sometimes you find a book that just catches your eye. Some time ago, I picked up a very nice 1945 edition of Andersen's Fairy Tales with illustrations by Arthur Szyk.
<------ Here's a photo of the inside front cover (and the identical illustration is on the back inside too).


There are similar one page illustrations throughout the book, along with some black pen drawings.

Last night the Cincinnati Reds comemmorated the 600th Home Run hit by Ken Griffey Jr. with three giveaways at the game. I've got those items listed in my store available to his fans - a poster, an oversized card and a photo (including one listing with the ticket stub). Check them out here. Fast Shipping!

I also still have the Joe Nuxhall replica statue.

Joe Nuxhall Remembered At Cincinnati Reds Game Last Night


On the 64th anniversary of Joe Nuxhall's debut in the Major Leagues at the age of 15, the Cincinnati Reds and the City of Cincinnati renamed the 100 block of Main Street in downtown Joe Nuxhall Way. In commemoration, the Reds gave away replica bronze statues of Nuxhall; the same statue that stands in front of Great American Ball Park. I have four statues up for sale in my store's Baseball Emporium.

I also still have copies of both Cincinnati newspapers remembering Nuxie after he passed away - both the Cincinnati Enquirer and the now defunct Cincinnati Post's editions.

Ken Griffey Jr. Joins the 600 Home Run Club


Cincinnati Reds outfielder, Ken Griffey Jr. hit home run #600 last night in Miami. He is now one of just six players in history to hit 600 or more home runs.

We've got a great book in our store titled Junior: Griffey on Griffey - a 1st edition copy.

I've also listed some packages of Ken Griffey Jr. Valetines - another great find.
