AAGPBL Items
 
I have my first biological child due Dec. 29th, and it's a girl. I got permission from my wife to decorate the baby room with AAGPBL decor, and would also like to get something for my 2.5 year old stepdaughter's room.

However, I'm unsure of what's out there for AAGPBL Items. I'd like to find a newspaper or two from during the war, and maybe some larger Type 1 photos or other items (doesn't have to be during the war). Are there any AAGPBL collectors resources, or would someone be willing to share any ideas they may have?

Thank you in advance!

Hi

First Off Congratulations
Second they have a great web site to learn more about them
Third the only place I have seen that sells things and reprints etc is on ebay.

Good Luck and show some pictures as you progress

First off, congratulations.

Secondly, if I were in your shoes, I would go the reprint route. I hesitate to put original items in the baby room because kids are messy, and I'm sure a rare or expensive item getting crayon, marker, or, ahem, other excretions on it would put a damper on things. If you use reprints it'll still look great, the kids won't know the difference, and any damage is a quick and cheap fix.

Thank you everyone!

My plan is to target things that can be framed and hung on the wall. The way the room is setup, they should be safe, barring some sort of major catastrophe.

Check out Teambrownapparel.com

I did a whole like of AAGPL apparel for them of most of the teams in the league. Besides my work being on clothing (they make kids and toddler sizes as well) they sell them as prints that can be frame and other items. They are licensed by the AAGPBL and do a lot of work with the former players.

Love this. Added it to my watchlist.

Update...

I have 4 special photos on their way. I have 2 8x10 frames left. I'm thinking A League of Their Own print, and a Women in Baseball print. If anyone has any suggestions on the Women in Baseball print, let me know.
