I’m really not sure what this is, kind of a booklet type item, but it lists Bill Veeck’s All-time All-star Team and folds out to show an artist rendering of Veeck’s selected all-time all-star players (I can’t quite make out the artists name). On the cover it has Champion Papers and is a Coated Offset Cover /80 for you printing people (whatever that means…).

It's a GREAT looking box. As you know I have this particular cereal box, but it's not a complete box like yours. Oh well; it's still pretty nice...

Day 43 (February 12, 2020 – 043)

Man, that’s a nice looking patriotic old school rig parked in front of Memorial Stadium. There’s Frank Robinson, Merv Rettenmund, Dave McNally and Brooks Robinson holding a Flagtown USA sign along with some fellow employees of the E. Stewart Mitchell Inc. company in Baltimore, MD. I think the fellow on Brooks’ left is Barton Mitchell the son of E. Stewart Mitchell who started the liquid asphalt business in 1941. The asphalt truck has the statement, “Cover IT with ASPHALT”. Hopefully this Maryland asphalt company is still covering it with asphalt…
