Does anyone know if this two sided piece is some kind of premium of Roy Campanella and Elwin (Preacher) Roe? Thanks D.
Never seen those before.
Does it look to be perfectly square with machine cut edges on all 4 sides?
what size?
I have a few similar 2 sided pieces that are machine cut that I think are premiums too, but have no way of proving it yet.

Those pics are cut out from the Dell Baseball Annuals around 1951 -52. There were around 6-8 pages per issue of back-to-back B&W pics like those 1st 2.
I see Campy was MVP & Roe's dated 1951, so they are from the 1952 issue---The little wavy flag nameplate is the clue.

As a matter of fact, my Mantle avatar is from the back cover of the '53 issue (Roberts cover) and is a Mantle pose I've never seen anywhere else!
