Very nice!!!!!! (Hi Leon) I had seen Gimbel's connections with baseball before and I think I've even seen a baseball tips booklet but not this piece. According to Baseball Reference, Billy Jr. only played with Milwaukee in 1934, so yes, it seems this would have a very small population. I also see two autographs, and since Clarence Fieber was on that same team and only pitched in three games his one season in Milwaukee, my guess is the players signed it at the ballpark-- could have been at a store or team appearance, but ol' Clarence wasn't there very long so you've got a pretty small window.
Congrats!
