Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>I picked up the following Dizzy Dean Premium Photo a little while back and was wondering if anybody had any additional info on it. I really liked the photo on it and don't think I have ever seen it before. It states "Win with your pal, Dizzy Dean".<br /><br />It is on thicker paper stock and is right around 8"x10". The back is blank.<br /><br />Any help is appreciated.<br />-Rhett<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://starsofthediamond.com/deanpremium.JPG"><br />

Posted By: <b>Rich</b><p>This is a Grape Nuts cereal premium from around 1935-36. It was sent for one Grape Nuts box top.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Mohler</b><p>Hi Rhett<br /><br />That is a really cool item. I don't have an SCD, so I don't know if the premiums are listed in there. Does anyone know if it is part of a set of ballplayers or how many there are checklisted.

Posted By: <b>Clint Hromek</b><p>This was a premium from the Dizzy Dean Winners Club. There were several different items offered but I've only seen a handfull of different ones. There are two pins that are often reproduced, a bat/ball pin and the badge type pin. There was a pamphlet that illustrated the different items and a carboard advertising sign that held the pamphlets showing Dizzy.<br /><img src="http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z186/ksfarmboy/dizzy.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z186/ksfarmboy/dizzy2-1.jpg"><br /><br />Clint

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>I thought it might have something to do with the Grape-Nuts offer. I admit however that I haven't seen the photo before, while I see the membership pins/buttons at almost every large antique show I attend (often ridiculously overpriced though).<br /><br />Are the photos very tough to come by or are they relatively plentiful, like the membership pin?<br /><br />-Rhett

Posted By: <b>Clint</b><p>Rhett, the two pins are the most plentiful. I haven't followed these items for a few years but have seen a couple of the photos. They can be had but I wouldn't consider them easy.<br /><br />Clint
