Thanks Mike. I've gotten a good portion of the POY odds & ends from a very reputable dealer and from what I've gathered, he acquired a substantial lot in a major auction house several years ago and pieces it out from time to time. He had a pretty neat chunk of oddball goods from the Connie Mack estate as well, and continues to list pieces from both of the mentioned lots.

Now that you've mentioned the movies, it's about time for me to revisit both of these all-time great baseball films.

Well Scott, I may not always have had the means... but I try to never let that get in the way of pulling the trigger.

Neat piece Jimmy...

I used to sell Post Cereals, and we always ran a distant #2 in the category(way behind Kellogg's). Post Toasties could not compete with the identical Kellogg's Corn Flakes. Neither could any of the other offerings, although Grape Nuts was our strongest with adults, and Sugar Crisp with kids. They changed the name to the "politically correct" Golden Crisp, and sales then went down the toilet...

Huskies Cereal was long-gone by the time I was selling the brand. What was it exactly? I am thinking a similar Cereal to Wheaties, but really have no idea.

You're spot-on Mark. A weak tasting version of Wheaties, with a shelf life of two years (1937-1938). But they were around just long enough to produce some neat pieces such as these...

Awesome stuff Jimmy...

Wow... only two years of production. Huskies must have tasted like cardboard. At least it did produce some incredible and rare memorabilia, if nothing else!

Thanks so much for the "show and tell"....
