Default Advisory Staff Photos

I've been able to put together a decent collection of Advisory Staff Photos over the years. But I still have the most basic question about them -- what exactly are they? Or more precisely, how were they distributed? Were they given away by sporting goods stores with the purchase of a glove or perhaps a bat? Or were they displayed by sporting goods stores but never intended for public distribution? Or could you write away to Wilson or MacGregor or Rawlings, etc., to get one? Or something else entirely?

Also, does anyone know why the colored photos from the 1970s are so tough? I've been searching for the Seaver my whole life and I've never even seen a picture of one. Thanks.

Paul

I can remember seeing them hanging in the sporting good store. I am under the impression that the glove and bat distributors gave them to the stores to promote the gloves and bats. I think the color rawlings photos from 1964 came in the glove box.

No clue about how they were distributed, but some of them seem challenging to find.

Edited to add: apparently the pics still aren’t showing up. I attempted to share my Mays 1950-1970 Macgregor Advisory Staff photo.
