Default Another early Mantle program on Ebay later date than advertised

Not sure if this is the correct place to post, but here goes :

Here is the auction:

Here is the note I sent the seller:


Hi

This program is not from the opening series in 1951.

The reason I am sure is due to Les Moss being in the Boston lineup as #14. Moss was with the St Louis Browns for the beginning of the season, he joined the Red Sox via trade on May 17.

The first series programs have Matt Batts listed as #14, he went to the Browns on May 17 in the same trade.

Merry Christmas,
Doug



Always be careful of buying programs that are supposed to be from a big event.

Here is a scan of an actual debut program, this one scored.

Merry, Happy, etc,
Doug
