I like those fan premiums too. I have 6 of them and know of 2 others. I like how they have a date at the bottom to help differentiate between them. Mine are dated:

12/63
7/65
8/66
12/67
8/70
and one with no date but 1500 at the bottom. I think it came after the 8/70 one.

The two I don't have but know exist are 2/63 and 5/67. And there are probably others as well, I would imagine. From 68, 69? Maybe 64.

Ben, I can't quite make out the date on the bottom of yours. What are they? And Chris, what is the date on yours?

Mine is 5/67. I thought I had two but must be mistaken. If I find it I’ll let you know the date on it as well.

Mike, the image on the left is 12/67 and the one on the right is 12/64. Sorry, I guess I just added another one for you to look for

Chris, mine came from the original owner and he did not recall an additional letter, but there certainly could have been.

I like those Christmas cards too...especially the ones that have the entire team photo and facsimile autos. Would love to have the one with the 52 Team photo inside. Do you have that one?

I have 1957 and 1962. I’m assuming there were other Christmas cards but have only seen the 1952 (I wasn’t confident enough these weren’t fantasy items to spend $500 on it or whatever it was listed for) and I think a 1963 Mike owns.

Been a while Chris. good to see your still collect Mick. I dont regret selling most my Mick and turned to RC's and pre-war. I still take time to view my 51's &52 ..I catch myself wanting a high-end 53 or 56 at times. The 53 has that appeal i like. I still remember that time i messaged you about seeing that 53 Yakamatsu in Brockelman. Sure was unique at the time. Sure dont know how you store all those items. Maybe a U-Haul storage unit, sure be fun when the young-in grows up and shares the interest.

Haha, I bid like crazy on that 53 Yamakatsu and really appreciated the tip. Still disappointed I lost out but didn’t know how I’d come up with the money to bid higher. I’m glad you are enjoying the prewar rookies!

Mike, do you mind posting or emailing me photos of the ones you have? I just found two more in my collection—one with an identical text/image to the one on the left that Ben shared (someone trimmed the bottom off so cannot tell the date) and one that pictures Mantle and Maris that is undated but presumable from 1962.
