View Full Version : Okay so what is this?
I found this in the dollar bin at the LCS today. Figured my curiosity was worth a buck. 1955 Athletics. Obviously cut from something, but I don't know what. My best guess is that it had something to do with radio broadcasts, since the (incomplete) map at the bottom has radio stations marked. Any idea where this came from?
No ideas? If it helps, it's about 5x9 and blank backed.

This was one of the many promotional items produced during the A's first year in KC. Yours has been trimmed down quite a bit from the original. The map referenced the area where the A's radio broadcast could be received. These are not rare or even scarce as you still see these pretty often, especially in the KC area. Posters in nice condition bring around $25 or so.
