Thanks Dan. I've been after that Aeros one for awhile. You can definitely tell that they were the Expos farm club back then. The guy had a bunch of great jerseys and memorabilia. He lived across town from me but we have never met. We had talked on the phone once before though. You never know what great memorabilia is within a short driving distance from you.

I've already heard there are a few guys in town that collect the Lincoln minor league stuff, but they collected it back in the 1950s...One guy that I got a bunch of images from (That I'm not allowed to post on the internet) told me he would pass my name and phone number on to one of them, but that was almost a year ago now and I've heard nothing. There is another guy who was the Sports Information Director at the U of Nebraska for years and before that he was the sports editor for the Lincoln newspaper..I've heard he has a ton of Lincoln baseball stuff including one of Dick Stuart's bats from 1956. A few years back (three maybe?) I ran across a posting on Keyman collectibles from a woman who said she had a bunch of Lincoln Athletics stuff...I was able to google her up and had a nice email conversation with her in which she told me her dad was the trainer...I happened to have a photo of her dad and I sent it to her and she told me to contact her after she came back from her vacation...I did, but she never contacted me back. I took a shot at trying to contact her again a few months back, but still heard nothing.

Here's that old posting..still sitting there, just taunting me-

Gets you excited just thinking what they may have. Hopefully we both get a call in the near future with good news.

Picked up these two. An Aug 1960 Sport magazine and a Duke Maas cut from an AP dated Aug 1st, 1960. With Maas, I now need only one more for the 1961 Yankees.

Picked up an interesting 1955 Yankees program...it's from a game in Hawaii against the National Baseball Congress team Hawaii Red Sox...I've seen 1955 programs from the Japan tour, but this is the first I've seen of their stop in Hawaii...actually I didn't even know they went to Hawaii first before heading off to Japan.

Signed by Billy Martin and Bob Turley...too bad they didn't get the Mick's signature that day.

Nice, Dan! How many of those can there be?

I've been searching the internets for another one with no luck. I see lots of the Japanese programs though.

edited to add: There may have been one in this lot from Mastro in 2006, but it is not shown in any of the pics
