Found Holy Grail of LSU Bowl Programs

[Hot Springs Bathers]

I purchased mine on eBay around three years ago for $35.00 from a fellow Arkansan.

I have seen them steadily increase over the years but also a number of pristine copies have popped up.

I keep a log of what Arkansas college related programs are listed on eBay and keep a photo log of all the covers I do not win. It helps me know what is out there and what they are going for. The last '47 Cotton Bowl listed and sold was in May for $127.50.

I don't know what you have been using as you search titles but they have been out there. I will gladly sell mine when/if I pick up a duplicate.

LSU, Alabama and Texas A&M collectors in particular are ardent searchers and buyers. Texas Longhorn collectors seem to just focus on their winning seasons (of which there are many.) This may hold true on collectors in other areas and for other schools out of this region, I just don't track them. When I have bid on Arkansas programs I have to always keep this in mind. You also get that tough cross-over on those A&M programs from the '50s when Bear Bryant was there, you are facing both Bama and A&M competition. I would assume the same holds true for earlier Kentucky and Maryland programs with the Bear?

I should also mention that there seems to be a new surge in the last couple of years in Ole Miss collectors with the Archie years being very popular.

I crosss all of these schools chasing Arkansas programs and of course the Hogs played LSU and Ole Miss long before their SEC days, sadly they just didn't win too often.
