Thanks for the very quick responses. I appreciate the information and it has been very helpful. This site is an amazing resource. I am surprised I haven't noticed more of these for sale on ebay.

Please let me know if anyone comes across another example of one of these... or an example of a player other than Grover Alexander or Walter Johnson. I am searching everywhere and cannot find any.

cguidi, you need to illuminate it with a black light and see if it fluoresces. I suspect it will. I agree with what's above. If it lights up it is certainly 'new', not vintage.

Depends on your definition of vintage...I think it dates to the 1950s, but surely is not from Walter Johnson's playing days.

going through some old posts as I havent been around for a while.

I have a few of these ca1948+ 2sided premiums (5"X8" exactly) with the same font, but these are not blank backed, they have a player on each side, all are machine cut exactly the same size and show age on edges.

besides the ones pictured below, there are 6 more ... Jackie Robinson/Dick Wakefield, Hartnett/Frisch, Dykes/Feller, TWilliams/Durocher, DDean/Hornsby, WJohnson/HWilson

I have never seen others or dups
