These are astounding, especially as a group.

I was able to acquire a collection of game-used lineup cards from the 1950's. I've been digging through and figuring out dates (many were not written in and was only able to ID them after I got them in hand)

A few of the highlights include:

• 1955 Pittsburgh Pirates Lineup card w/Clemente rookie
• 1954 Milwaukee Braves lineup w/Aaron rookie
• 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers lineup w/Jackie, Snider, Reese etc. in their only World Series year
• 1954 New York Giants lineup card w/Mays in his 1st MVP season and the season the Giants won the World Series
• 1954 Cubs lineup card w/Ernie Banks rookie

Some new pickups for my low end Giants collection...

First a Mays Hartland. You would have thought I had one of these but I did not. I just recently started looking and found this pristine example at a great price.

Next, a 1958 Hank Sauer Packard Bell card/schedule. They also did a Mays, Antonelli and Rigney. I got the Sauer cheap. The Mays commands big bucks. Thanks for the tips on cracking Hank out of his slab.

Finally, you can never have too much kitsch. The one on the left is new. Looks like they did a fielder's glove, a first baseman's glove and a catcher's mitt.

My game used jersey collection is starting to grow.

Happy to add these two umpire jerseys to my closet.
I think they were worn by Joe West maybe???

April 25th, 1954 Braves vs Cardinals. Rookie Hank Aaron hits his 2nd career home run in this game. He goes 5 for 6 which is his first 5 hit game. Teammate Eddie Mathews also goes yard making this the first game (of 75) that the two would do this. Thats the highest in MLB. (He hit his first HR two days earlier here) this is the earliest Aaron HR I have seen.

Happy to add this 1949 Sun Picture Camera Photo set #1 to my Cleveland Baseball Type collection. The set is complete with negatives of Lou Boudreau, Allie Clark, Steve Gromek, and Mickey Vernon. Also has 8 unused photo paper "cards" but I doubt they would still work after all this time.

Very cool!! Was this an "Indians only" thing?

Thanks! I was blown away when I saw the collection and thrilled when I could complete a deal for them. There were a range of others from the Cardinals (Musial etc.), Phillies (Ashburn etc.), and Cincinatti (with Kluszewski). Games pitched by Robin Roberts and Don Newcombe among others.
