Default 1959 Home Run Derby - cards and ads?

I have just picked up my first 1959 Home Run Derby card (from a Net54 friend) and it’s totally gotten me into a rabbit hole of the series and the beautifully campy show itself. I just watched Hank Aaron vs Al Kaline…. The opening monologue itself between the host and players is by far the highlight of that show - just awesome.

I read about but have not been able to find ads with Mays and Mantle promoting the show - I thought it may have been in a 1960 TV Guide but also saw reprints on ebay that suggested the ad may actually be in the 1960 all star game program.

I’d love to add some affordable complimentary items from the show and thought some experienced collectors here might have some advice (and/or like to show off some of their own items from the show)

Thx all - here’s my new one/only….
