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.

Nice pickup tonite- Unusual Bob Feller pinback button. Approx. 7/8" in diameter

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.

Passed up on this, too much bling for me. Nice piece though, about 3'x3'.

Do you have an auction link for that? On my first impression, the item looks modern (Sleeman does feature old baseball images on its web site)

made these for Baseball, Football and Hockey. Baseball goes for the most at about $250 to 300

Thanks, Jim. Based on that info, I got a great deal on this one.
