Awesome stuff, Chris!

Be sure to wear that paper hat to the National next year, so we can locate you amidst the big crowds.

Thanks, Mark. I'll try and remember to do just that!

Updated my Kahn's poster with cards for each player pictured.

Are these things worth anything? I got them framed when I had an all sports type of room and now it’s more specific focused around the Orioles.

I would think so, maybe $100-150 for a guess. What are the dimensions? The paper stock? They don't appear to be out of a magazine, so I imagine they are store point-of-purchase displays of some kind. I've seen these or similar before, but don't know anything about them.

Fantastic pickup, Bob!

I kind of like it in that frame. It really pops, but eager to see what you have done with it. Have you removed it yet? Curious to know if there's an easel on the back, and how they mounted it to the existing mat (tape, adhesive, etc.)

Hopefully it comes out clean, and congrats on a monumental pickup!

Yeah, Bob, but have you picked up anything GOOD lately?

Is that a die-cut, or a poster including the white?

Pretty good guess.... $75 - $100 (each) is about the going price. There was a huge find of these a couple of decades ago. So they are not rare, but have dried up a bit in past years.

These are just two of perhaps a dozen varieties that were found. All are circa 1950s, but these are two of the better ones, IMHO. They are indeed posters that were used to promote Louisville Slugger products at retail stores. They are printed on thin paper stock, but are legit, and are not ads removed from magazines.

If the OP holds on to them a while longer, I would think they'd go up in price. The subject matter is great and they're not making any new ones!
