Which one of these, from Sandy's third career save (of 9), is the most fun to look at?

Not a particularly a great one but I found it interesting.

Just won this. 1952 Ted Williams day program. The outer program with the Picture on front and stats on the back with a "regular 1952 scorecard for the game inside. First time I came across one.
The Fenway faithful honored Ted and wished him well as he was leaving to again serve his country as a Marine Pilot. Surprised and happy to have won this.

Pretty neat find! I've seen one or two of these over the years but never opened one so I never knew there was a regular scorecard inside! Thanks for sharing!

Now that I have the item in hand I don't think it was issued with the scorecard. First the crease on the front doesn't seem to affect the scorecard inside. And second the scorecard is pasted inside the Blue cover but there is
a scorecard on Ebay without Blue cover that doesn't have any damage on the back page . Those two things Lead me to believe that the Blue cover was a fan giveaway and is seperate from the scorecard. Although the version on ebay is not scored and could be from a differant game in the same series.

Could be one of those things we'll never have a definitive answer on, but your evidence seems valid against it being issued with the scorecard!

Love scored scorecards and are much more affordable than tickets.

Here are a few of my top ones.

Always willing to entertain offers and trades

Bert Shepard 1945 Exhibition!
Nolan Ryan 1st win
Jackie Robinson vs Ben Chapman - 1st stolen base!
1934 all star game - Hubbell K’s 5 in a row
