Hi Tim,
Tim N. here - the 1939-40 Reds were my entree into prewar card collecting - I had an uncle near Cincy who gave me his W711s and his scorecards when I was about twelve. I don't have anything like your memorabilia, but I have a few things I will try to post when I can get them scanned.
You're welcome to email me directly at
apspr@msn.com, since you and i may be the main board people interested in this team, LOL.
In the meantime, here's one of my card White Whales that I looked for for decades and finally got a few years ago.
