You're on the ultimate roll

Mark,
Thanks for the compliments. I agree with your description of this pic. It is Iconic.
Sometimes it just falls in your lap.
All these pics came from 2 sources. I just happen to come in contact with people who had it lying around their homes from their relatives.
Color me lucky.
I think I need to play the powerball now.
Best,
Mark

Thanks Clint...it was really a stroke of luck to run into this collection. All I have to do now is upgrade my 1955 program as it has part of the front cover cut off because of a coupon clipper. I still need many years of team photos though so the search goes on.

That's one of the great things about collecting memorabilia: The search never ends.

Congrats on the awesome score, Dan.

Picked up this really odd piece. Going to be for sale at some point, but for now, here it is. Has list of players in various AAA down to A ball, and even umpires, of guys who were on this reserve list for the season. Im guessing these were made for MLB Team uses. Pretty weird. A scan saw Yaz and Marichal amongst the reserved players, and others retired, in military and all. Strange. Anyone else have any info on this?

Not baseball, but picked up this interesting taylor's display trunk with a fantastic early hockey scene on the inside of the lid. It measures 27" long, 10" wide and 7" deep.
