Thanks; I really haven't done the steps to find out who the Indians player was pictured. I just knew that it wasn't May and the order w/Fisk and Brooks was different as well.

Can you please post a picture when you have an opportunity? Love to see the Garvey proof.

This is the best i can do at the moment. I just happened to capture that page in a binder when I was showing the depth of my Garv collection.

Curt,

Thanks for the picture. You have two (2) '75 Hostess panels? That's awesome. If you do have an opportunity I'd love to see a picture of the panel up close. I think it's cool that it's in the same kind of format and background that mine is on.

Also, you really messed me up by posting that picture. I went to your photobucket to view and I spent a bunch of time looking through all your Garvey stuff. AWESOME collection!

I noticed an Avalon Hill ad w/Brooks pictured. Is that just a magazine ad or something different? I know I don't have this particular ad.

One of my oddest is the 1955 Masquerade Party Pee Wee Reese.

Justin,

I've never seen this before; thanks for sharing. It's definitely odd and a very nice looking item.

Bob Lemke wrote about these in his blog a few years ago. It shows the complete game which is pretty neat. I never even heard of that show (before my time), but there are some complete episodes on youtube. Would be cool to find the episode with Reese in it if it exists.

I have a version of this game with the Pee Wee and Durocher; there were a couple different editions I think. Adam Warshaw knows a bit more about it all than I do, perhaps he will post.

I might be interested in selling or trading mine as my collecting focus has changed in recent years.

I'll try to find it to scan closer. My card room is very cluttered now, as i just moved from a room twice the size in the last year. I can't even get to a lot of the stuff still.

The Robinson is an ad pulled from some sort of magazine, I believe. It was in a lot with some others (Garvey was one I assume and probably the reason I bought the lot).

Full disclosure, most of the Sterling jumbo 1/1 patches and maybe 1-2 other high end cards are not mine and were saved for the scans. The bulk of the stuff in my photo bucket is mine though.

My only odd ball so far...however, I do have a mantle piece I'd like more info on. I'll post later on.
