Charles Linnett Portrait Questions
 

Hi-
I recently acquired two Charles Linnett portraits that appear to be different from what is listed in the Standard Catalog (at least the current edition). I have two, Yaz and Burleson and each is sealed in plastic (as issued is my guess). Both have an ad on the back that says Welcome to Grant City Charles Sennett Portrait Day. Below that next to the MLB logo it says On behalf of the team, the W.T. Grant Company and Charles Linnett Studios are pleased to welcome you to "Portrait Day." We hope you enjoy your game and your FREE portrait.

Are these catalogued anywhere? How many teams participated? How many other Red Sox ones are there? Please post others if you have them.

Thanks in advance,
Alan

I don't know if this what you have? It's been on eBay a long time

Both the Red Sox and Twins had Grant City giveaway days.

Linnett Portraits Checklist
 

Here is a link to a checklist for the Linnett portraits:

I found at least one omission from that checklist. Steve Garvey has a print and he was not listed.

His drawings were also featured on a number of crossword puzzles that appeared in Baseball Digest and Sporting News in the early 70s.
