Help ID 1960's color baseball photo postcards
 
2 Attachment(s)
Purchased 4 of these color photo's from the 1960's; it appears they are from a baseball photo pack of some sorts. Anyone help ID these photos? I have Dick Groat, Tommy Davis, Ken Boyer and Tom Tresh. They measure 8" x 9-3/4". Blank back.

Rawlings glove premiums. I think.

Yes, thanks. It appears to be Rawling Glove "advisory staff" color photos inserted into the packaging of the glove from 1964-66. Thanks for your help.

These photos were packaged with the Rawlings Big 8 model glove. Tresh is wearing one in the pic. I know because I had one as a kid. It was the best glove I ever had! I loaned it to one of the teenie boppers on my dads's softball team and she lost it! (Yeah, I'm still pissed. I'll get over it; someday.) The glove and the pictures came in an octagon shaped box with a smaller version of a player pic on each side. Unfortunately, I wasn't smart enough to keep the box. There were a total of eight players endorsing the glove. I only have the Ken Boyer remaining as I traded all the others in the mid '70's. Within a couple years of issue, Boyer made an appearance at the Skatemore Skating Rink in Ellisville, MO. He was kind enough to sign my Big 8 pic and 1963 Topps card.

The eight players featured were:
1. Ken Boyer
2. Mickey Mantle
3. Warren Spahn
4. Dick Groat
5. Tom Tresh
6. Tommy Davis
7. Billy Williams
8. Brooks Robinson

I just found the Mickey Mantle picture cut from the box. This is from a Spring 2014 REA auction. Looking at the final bid and remembering that I threw the box away made me a little sick. C'est la vie.

Here is the complete set of eight pictures.
