Bob Feller all star program info???

[sam majors]

Does anyone know if the Bob Feller All Stars vs Satchel Paige All Stars program has been reprinted? I think it's from 1946 and has an orange cover. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Sam Majors

Yes, they have. I have had a copy of both and they are difficult to tell apart. The reprinted ones will just "look and feel" newer, while all of the original ones I've seen show quite a bit of wear. Also the pictures in the newer ones I think are just a little more blurry than the originals. Also, Feller signed many of the reprinted ones. I no longer own either one, but if I can find scans, I'll post them.

The program on the left is a reprint, while the one on the right is an original. There are no markings anywhere on the reprint that identify it as such.

I'd like to thank Rob and Joe for the information on the program. The reprint photo in the response from Joe confirms to me that there were reprints. I have a program with the exact same numbers on the bottom right corner of the front cover of the program program. Thanks again! Sam Majors

[Joe Hunter]

I should have said the program on the TOP is the reprint program.
