I've already heard there are a few guys in town that collect the Lincoln minor league stuff, but they collected it back in the 1950s...One guy that I got a bunch of images from (That I'm not allowed to post on the internet) told me he would pass my name and phone number on to one of them, but that was almost a year ago now and I've heard nothing. There is another guy who was the Sports Information Director at the U of Nebraska for years and before that he was the sports editor for the Lincoln newspaper..I've heard he has a ton of Lincoln baseball stuff including one of Dick Stuart's bats from 1956. A few years back (three maybe?) I ran across a posting on Keyman collectibles from a woman who said she had a bunch of Lincoln Athletics stuff...I was able to google her up and had a nice email conversation with her in which she told me her dad was the trainer...I happened to have a photo of her dad and I sent it to her and she told me to contact her after she came back from her vacation...I did, but she never contacted me back. I took a shot at trying to contact her again a few months back, but still heard nothing.
Here's that old posting..still sitting there, just taunting me-
