Can Anyone ID this Duke Snider Piece?
 
It is about 4 x 5, printed on slick paper like many picture pack photos, and [obviously] misidentifies Snider as Don Newcomb [sic].

And spelled Newcombe wrong, to boot.

I think this was the subject of a thread here a little while back.

That's what [sic] signifies; that the writer [me] is aware of the error but is using it as originally written.

I get the [sic] schtick; I guess what I should have added is that the misspelling indicates to me this wasn't an official team-issue.

The Newcomb/Snider error seems familiar to me, as well. I may have added this issue to the SCVBC data base a few years ago when I was consulting, but it seems to have been part of a large bunch of stuff that got sucked into a black hole.

I haven't seen a copy of the last three books, so I don't know if any of it ever surfaced in the pages of recent editions.

I have a very similar Jackie Robinson:
