Nice! Thanks for posting pictures.

Picked up these Mickey Mantle photos this week and the article two weeks ago.







This next thing is ugly...I don't know what the guy was thinking when he framed it, but I'm glad he saved it.

Dated April 16, 1951 from the Newark (NJ) Star-Ledger. It reads in part: Mickey Mantle, sensational New York Yankee rookie,
celebrated his promotion to the varsity yesterday by banging out a home run and three singles.

It was an exhibition game against the Dodgers at Ebbets Field, but it was his first game as a major leaguer, in a major league stadium.

When's the last time any of you saw the Dodgers referred to as "the flock" (as in Robins)?
Terrific historical content in that paper but agreed that the frame job is sorely lacking.

Super haul Dan. I love finds like that...well, reading about them. I am only just a little bit more happy for you than I am jealous of you. Your brother is the man.

Just picked this up last night; 1959 Willard Schmidt road jersey with 1958 Smoky Burgess pants. This is the last style of Redlegs vest I needed (1956-1966).

Still looking for a 1955 home or road Cincinnati jersey with either style patch (square or contour) and have hundreds of flannels and jackets (all teams) available to trade for one.
