Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>with the description! Looks like a program to me with a paper insert with the same photo as used for the Four Base Hits Kelly (a.k.a. Leon's card). $20-$30 maybe? I can't imagine it being worth significant coin.....

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Now that you mentioned it Tom, it is very close...might not be bad as an ancillary item for the card......regards<BR><BR><BR><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1069438805.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>Not to suggest that it isn't a nice publication, but .... "rectangular piece of paper stapled together with other rectangular pieces of paper" ... Isn't this kind of like a book page?

Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>The funny thing is that old baseball publications are popular and usually rare, and a nice little 1894 publication with a memorial page about Kelly will likely sell for much more than a paper suppliment single (which are never in favor, as anyone trying to sell a Baseball Magazine will tell you). So, I beleive he does himself a disservice by bleeping over the publication part in an attempt to make one of the pages into a 'trading card.' .... Still, seems like an interesting item.<BR>
