Bill, I’ve never seen that before. Was that ever sold at public auction?

Heritage has a lineup card up from the 715th HR game. I didn’t mention it since I didn’t have one to contrast with. Thanks for posting this.

Jeff...

I can't answer that although the only thing I can tell you is that it is currently in the possession of the MLB Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

Bill, makes a ton of sense. Is it an image that can be found online (and if so can you send a link?) I've been searching and haven't been able to find it.

Thanks!

Jeff:

The photo I shared is from a 1993 book entitled "Baseball Archaeology," (pg. 111) which shows photos of memorabilia from both private collections and the HOF.

I'm not sure if you've been to Cooperstown lately, but the Hall has a nice sized Hank Aaron exhibit and I've seen the lineup card on display there as well.

Here is a blog which shows a photo of it there too:

Thank you. That's really helpful.

It seems very clear to me that the lineup cards that are not the ones used in the game.

Shared the info with Heritage. Initially only reached out about 714, but followed up on 715. Will await a response.

Great; I'd be interested in what they say.

Keep us informed!
