Spalding posters--early 1960's
 
These are 17 X 11 1/2". If I recall, I got them from a sporting goods store in Lincoln, Nebraska after they had been displayed in frames on the wall. They've been rolled up in a storage tube since then. I apologize for the tumblers on each corner--they were the best way to keep them gently unrolled.
I haven't had much luck finding info on them in my searches. Does anyone know what year/years they were used? How many players would have been included?
Value?
Thanks for your input!http://i855.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps9a0ce7ad.jpg,

Great looking poster love the Wills and the Drysdale.
Just a though, I think what you have hear are posters of player's that were under contract / spokesperson for the company.
(See bottom right stating advisory board same as spokesperon .These were probably given out to all sporting goods stores that sells spending gloves/other baseball related items. I would try contacting Spaulding directly. This is part of there marketing advertising programs from the 60's. I'm sure they have some old timers still on staff that might be able to help. I would also try to search for a historian that focuses on Spalding Sporting Equipment, not easy but it's out there.

Wow. Those are very cool.

Those are really cool and all appear to be Ozzie Sweet photographs (from sport magazine). I have never seen those before and although posters are not something that is generally highly collected, I can see why collectors may be very interested in these. Jason

The Ford says "courtesy of Sport" in the lower left. That would. Certainly support your Ozzie Sweet idea. Thanks!

Anyone know anything about these other than what's been posted?

Pete Ward's last year with Chicago was 1963, so maybe these are from early 1964. Just a guess. Very nice posters.
