On another note, why don't ball players have cool names like "Vinegar Bend" anymore.

Because their agents probably conduct comprehensive marketing research on any potential nicknames...and these days, most "cool" names would offend at least one survey respondent.

I did a little searching and found this image of the Ken Boyer from Susman's, on worthpoint. Not the same typography/layout as Bell, so is it the same issue?

Really good detective work, this design is definitely later and is changed. Looks like they dropped the sporting goods and put the address at the bottom. The Mizell is a modified 1956 cardinals team issue. Kenny looks early 60s? Not exactly sure. I think with most that will be found, they will probably always be autographed to the kids they were helping.
