I just bought one of these (most recent REA) that doesn't have Campy's head, does anybody in Net54-land have one that they could scan (he's seated in the front row, so a scan is possible) for me? I have found a few images on line, but none are of very good quality. I just got it today, so I still need to do some more involved searches on line, but if one of you guys has one, I'm betting it would be a better image.

Thanx in advance.

Thank you Marty. I think that might be just what I need.

That's awesome! I love to see a happy ending for once! Please post a picture to show how it turned out. That is a beautiful piece from a storied team.

I wanted to revive this thread from 6 years ago as I believe I have a little more info regarding these displays. I just purchased one, and it was shipped to me collapsed flat in the original box from when these were originally made. I have attached pictures below of the display flat as well as the box, which says “Sweeney Litho” and “Brooklyn Dodgers” in light pencil, but also has a full address for Sweeney Litho in New York as well. The person I acquired this from said he found both the display and box in his father’s things, but he doesn’t know how he acquired them. He also said his father had been in the advertising business, so he could well have acquired it though business contacts. However, since the item was originally delivered to Sweeney Litho, I think it seems likely that they were an art dealer (rather than a fabricator), and that the item was subsequently sold by them in a retail environment. This doesn’t mean they weren’t distributed though other means, but based on the box, retail sales seem to me to have been likely.
