Help IDing this issue

Did you pick it up from the original owner?

Any chance the original owner was in education?


I don't know about that exact item, but SI would do a hospitality room at some education conventions. Secondary school principals for sure. In the 70's/early 80's the handout to get autographed was a panel with photos of the three athletes they had there that night.

So maybe a similar thing from earlier or a different event when they only had him there?

That's about as close a guess as I've got.

As a long shot you could contact SI. They seem to have a decent dept for their own history and might know.

Hi Steve:

Thanks for the reply. I got it in an auction, so no help there. I did not know SI had a "history" department. Guess it can't hurt to try to contact them.

Just strange no one else here has or has seen this or any others.
