Hi, can anyone add to the checklist for these ca.1930 "Base Ball Star" notebook covers?
The images are sometimes cut from these and are "card like"

all tri-color unless noted

1. James Bottomley
2. Mickey Cochrane
3. Lew Fonseca
4. Jimmie Foxx
5. Lou Gehrig (red background)
6. Lefty Grove
7a. Rogers Hornsby
7b. Rogers Hornsby (dif. pose, red background)
8. Bob O'Farrell (red background)
9. Mel Ott
10. Charley Root
11. Babe Ruth
12. Luke Sewell
13. Al Simmons
14. Hack Wilson

And did anyone here snipe the Bottomley and Hornsby? I'm hoping they ended up "in the family."

yes....

Does that mean it was you? I had a hunch it might have been. These beauties are the kind of thing that you seem to appreciate. Glad you got em. Sorry me and Frank made you pay though.

If you don't mind me asking, did you BIN the back to back one as well?

Very cool pieces, I had only seen the 1910's era notebooks before.

Yes and yes....no worries on bidding wars. It's part of the hobby . I think I got a total of 4 of them and missed 2-3 BIN's......neat looking items...

Cool. Then all six of the "new" ones are accounted for.

I am interested to see if there is any response to Frank's question. I'd think there'd have to be a few other "red" top ones out there at least. Even if the Ruth and Gerhig are red tops, for symmetry's sake there ought to be two others at a minimum.
