Bill ToddHi,
Does anyone know of a checklist for the Baseball Magazine photos? OC just says that there are ~200 photos in the 1918-1958 series, but I'd bet it's far more than that. If they were issued for 40 years, 200 would only be 5 per year--not a likely scenario. I'd say that 2,000 would be more like it.
They were premiums rather than inserts, so I imagine each one would have been available for some time; any ideas about how long? In other words, how closely can you date a particular item? You might be able to fix an earliest date by checking the player/team combination, but could you identify an end date? The ones I see are usually described as "1930s" etc.
Thanks,
Bill
