Hey Fred!
Soul brothers we are! Thanks for sharing the ad - that is some good info! Thompson/Mays/Burgess/???? might round out the official list of WS related trophies. I have seen the Mays and the Hank Thompson on occasion, but hadn't seen a Burgess, and have not seen a pitcher. My Thompson has a different inscription, no mention of the phantom Giants! I did see that red Newcombe figure a while back, and really wasn't sure what to make of it, to be honest. Probably no way of ever knowing its origin 60 years on, but maybe more like it will turn up. I have included a pic of another contract to show the contract language. The person I picked up the contracts from also had some of the figures in small boxes that he believed were used to distribute some of these figures individually. That would have obviously been different than the retail rubber banded figure card combo. Maybe the Gould company kept them in these boxes, or maybe they were shipped to the store in the small boxes where they were then removed for sale. The boxes look vintage and are perfect size for a figure with a card. Another mystery. Happy collecting! |

Thanks for another reason Leon should figure out how to put a like button on this forum.

Gould Package
Hi Guys:
I contacted a good friend and he sent along the below. It shows two Gould's in one package for 29 cents! Mays and Wynn. Anyone else have one of these? Sorry, no matter what I try I can't get the photo to be right side up. It is OK in the file on my computer. Fred Last edited by whiteymet; 12-14-2017 at 10:55 PM. |

That is really cool, Fred! Never seen them in a package of two before. I have seen individual cards with a 19c stamp on them, so I assumed they were sold either as individuals or in the boxes of 7 (which maybe was only through the Baby Ruth send in?)
Anyway, tell your friend I will DOUBLE the original price and give him 58 cents for it! Last edited by laughlinfan; 12-14-2017 at 09:19 PM. Reason: So I don't need to turn my laptop upside down! |

Found a Gould package
Hi Gang:
Managed to find my own Robert Gould statue package. Unfortunately no Mays like the one my friend has. As a matter of fact probably the worst duo you could imagine Jim Finigan and Sid Gordon, but I'm not complaining. Now I'd like to find one of the box versions that had multiple statues. Fred |

Nice find, Fred! Maybe a nice Mays/Banks combo exists somewhere! If it does, I think you will find it!
