Hi-

I have had the partial flipbook scanned below for a while. Does anyone know who the player is? What does the complete book look like? Please feel free to show your own vintage flipbooks.

Love flip books and very under valued IMO. Here is one of the coolest things I got from the OldCardBoard website Its the Winthrop flip book going page by page.

Here is the cover of my Winthrop. Maybe one of these days eventually I'll see if I can put together an animation similar to the Brown off oldcardboard of it. I would love to get another one of these but they are a little difficult to find.

Great flipbooks Adam and DJ! Jay and DJ, it was actually your posts on the BST that reminded me I had an unidentified one. I love the animation on the oldcardboard link. I will try to post a scan or picture of the last page of the one I posted over the weekend as I think the image is a little clearer.

The only flipbook that I have is the following non sports one but I love seeing them so thanks to all who've posted them so far.

Reminds me of how much I enjoyed the old Mutoscopes in the penny arcade during the early days of Disney World.

I figured I would bump this thread once and add a couple of pictures from the end of my unidentified flipbook. Can anyone make out who the player is from this scan? Of course, it might just be an actor.

For some reason I want to say Feller but I have no good reason for that.

EDIT: Found the Feller book yours reminded me of, but don't think it's a match, sorry.

Thank you for checking Scott! You helped in that I took a closer look at the uniform back and it possibly shows a 5. I had figured this was from an earlier time period before uniform numbers. I am guessing it is just some generic model but I really appreciate your help!
