1944 Homestead Grays Card (?)
I have this posted on the memorabilia side but I am wondering what the card guys thinks about this recent pickup. its 5X7 made of cardboard and blank backed. I am trying to figure out if it is some sort of newspaper or magazine (or even team) premium and also trying to place where I have seen the image before. Note also the 1944 is a bit of a guess- based on the players it could be anywhere between 41 and 44

I'd bet that it is cut from a larger advertising broadside that the teams used to distribute to advertise upcoming games. Although I don't recall seeing a Grays one with this photograph, it is of a similar layout to one I've seen from other teams like this 1933 Crawfords broadside: A really neat item!

The Crawfords poster is not mine! It's a photo I found online somewhere from an auction, forgot which one. Historian Scott Simkus and I are finishing up a small book on the '33 Crawfords and I stumbled upon it while researching photos of the team to use for my illstrations. Wish it was mine cause it is spectacular!

An original broadside of that magnitude would bring quite a pretty penny these days. Let's see if it pops up in an upcoming Hake's Auction from the Richard Merkin collection.
