Default Lineup Cards/Official Batting Order Cards

I know that it's not the most popular item to collect, but I've been collecting lineup cards for a number of years and thought that some people here would appreciate seeing a few of the nicer ones. I'd also love to see any that people here have in their collections.

Pictures are:


- 7/28/1934 - Cleveland Indians signed by Manager Walter Johnson, and featuring HOF Earl Averill who hit a home run in the game, HOF Same Rice in his final season (only season not in Washington) and rookie Hal Trosky. 20-game winner Mel Harder on the mound.

- 5/21/1934 - Philadelphia A's signed by Manager Connie Mack. Jimmie Foxx his 220nd career home run

- 1956 Dodgers signed by Walt Alston on back featuring Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider etc. Carl Erskine on the mound. Date is unknown but lineup matches Erskine's no hitter (same lineup was used 2 other times during the season at Ebbet's field so exact date is unknown. Someone tried writing in the date of the no-hitter a few years back in an attempt to sell it for more. The auction house was alerted and they pulled the auction. Eventually it hit eBay with the date crossed out.)

- 4/14/1963 LA Dodgers with Koufax on the mound. Lineup says Spring Training but matches 4/14 lineup and substitutions perfectly. (Thanks to a member here for reaching out and being super reasonable in dealing this to me)

- 8/22/1987 - Atlanta Braves - Tom Glavine's first career win

- 10/6/1985 - Last game of the 1985 season. Mattingly 35th home run and Niekro's 300th win

I'd love to see any that other people have
