I have recently been on a deep dive into the Baseball Magazine advertisements for the m113 / m114 posters and have put together a grid of which players were advertised in each issue.

A couple things piqued my curiosity :

1 – In the Sept 1957 issue of the magazine (the last one) eight posters are advertised for the only time :

Arroyo Louis
Bailey Ed
Banks Ernie
McMillan Roy
Piersall Jimmy
Robinson Frank
Temple Johnny
Boyer Ken

I have never seen any of these, which leads me to think there is a chance that they may not have ever been issued. Does anybody have either a picture of, or an example(!) of any of those eight?


2 – In the March 1955 issue, 20 posters were first advertised. 15 of them continuing to be advertised in the remaining 10 issues thru Sept 1957, and I have all 15 of them. But, Gene Connolly, Arnold Portocarrero, James Wilson & Hal Naragon were not advertised in May 1956, or either 1957 issue – and I have never seen any of those posters. Does anybody have either a picture of, or an example(!) of any of those four?

I also need this Alexander poster.
