Damn. I didn't know those calendars existed. I have these Portland Premiums from the couple of seasons Tommy Bridges pitched in Portland, but I had no idea about the calendars. I'll be adding that to the want list. Thanks for sharing!

Couple of items.

1954 Roy Campanella All-Stars Barnstorming Tour Program


Second item is from a different area of collecting for me. I love children's illustrations and have gravitated to legendary illustrator Garth Williams.

According to Williams' daughter, Williams made some extra illustrations for the book Charlotte's Web. This was one of the illustrations that did not end up in the book, so even as I am sure that many people have read the book, I imagine almost no one has ever seen this drawing.

Rob, Dean & Ricky...thanks much. I really enjoy sharing these with you all.

Not bread calendars, but here's a cousin that is a prize for a Seattle collector like myself. So much content on this one!

Also, a few Vancouver Capilanos wartime schedule calendars. The Western International League was a "baby brother" to the PCL.

A few of the items I picked up yesterday at an estate sale.

Thanks for sharing. Just great pieces.

All great items and the calendars are great!

I picked up a nice set of the 1956 Dodgers picture pack from their 1955 WS team. The Koufax is pretty tough to find in good condition.

I'm being drawn more towards the picture packs lately.
