Default Awesome eBay Vander Meer purchase!

I just picked up a terrific unique item for my Johnny Vander Meer collection for under $15- delivered!

Here is an original signed 8" x 11" photo of Vandy's entire March 1944 Basic Training graduating class. The photo is also signed on the front and back by every one of the 85 men from Company 347 (Sampson, NY).

Also accompanying the photo is an original letter from the wife of one of Vandy's basic training company mates, Anthony Leonovich. She discusses how proud her husband was to have graduated with "Johnny Vander Meer- the guy that threw 2 no-hitters in succession".

Vander Meer is pictured 4th from the bottom right and signed the photo directly below his photo. Anthony Leonovich is the 6th guy to the right at top left.

Pretty cool!
