It is. There is also another one right in front of the boys foot. Also a 51 Bowman Spahn. I wonder what's in the rubber banded stacks that you can't see.

what a cool picture of the Detriot News magazine. Just shows the drastic difference in kids these days versus then in regards to cards and collecting. My friends always thought I was weird because I did not open my Starting Lineups and put them on the shelf...

Seen that photo of Woolworth's many times before but I have to say this is the first time I realized the Dodgers and Yankees pennants are likely the same ones from the premium offer on the wrapper.

Let's see who can identify all visible cards on the Detroit news cover!

About the best I could do on photobucket:

I can't identify the card the child is holding. I suspect it is a Tiger. Three of the four cards in the scrapbook are Tigers, 230 Matt Batts, 234 Steve Souchock and 28 Jerry Priddy. Card 66 Preacher Roe is on top of the rubber banded stack. I also see 219 Bobby Shantz, 2 James Runnells and 123 Ed Yost on the floor.

I believe it's Art Houtemann in his hand
