Fun stuff. Newspaper 'cards' were made for decades. I've catalogued some of the sets, been frustrated with the rest.

Nice Joe D, Joe J.

I usually go after the older, tougher ones of HOFers. It is a great way to collect on the cheap (tho some are getting expensive). The bios are often very colorful: "...this side of his 22nd birthday." What a fun way to say Joe D is 21 years old.

Thanks Mike,

Somehow missed that thread. Some great items in it.

By the way, did the checklisting and all you did, was that just for the Detroit Times Sports Stamps, or did you look at issues from any of the other papers as well?

Here are a couple of interesting articles from the 1936 Chicago American talking about the rookie Joe DiMaggio that I thought you might find interesting. They're still attached to the original scrapbook page so I apologize for the photo quality in advance.
