Have not been super active the past couple years with daughter in college and saving some money, but did manage to pick up a few new items.

1935 AS Game photo with Gehriger and Bob Johnson

1938 Studio photo from Christy Walsh estate and Sheet music from the only movie Gehrig was in "Rawhide." The photo was used for the sheet music as well. I have a few others from the same shoot as well

I finally got around to zeroing in on Hostess cards from the 70s.

My idea was to get the panels and reconstruct the boxes as I've done with 60s player wax boxes.

It's been reported that a "warehouse find" of unused flat boxes caused the bottom to fall out on these cards?

That's fine with me since these HOF'ers can be had for less than 10 bucks in some cases - the Yount RC was a whopping 25 bucks.

And what's cool is that the Blyleven wound up being an HOFer along with Seaver.

So, in reconstructing, I fortify the box with foam core and then shrink wrap the box - so here we go:

May I ask, how are you reproducing the box itself. I assume you don't have many boxes sans bottom panel to use. Btw, they look great.
