Does anyone remember.....

Hi Guys:

Does anyone remember a promotion by a Super Market I believe ( Maybe Acme or Food Fair) who in the early 60's had a promotion where kids could send in their photos and it would be "inserted" in a picture frame hanging in a major leaguer's locker with the player beside it?

I also recall an order sheet showing an example of the picture you get and a list of players for you to check off which player's locker you wanted your photo hanging in.

It could have been Bond Bread too. I can "see" the order sheet in my head, just can't recall where the promotion was from.

If anyone has one of the photos or the order sheet please post it here.

Thanks!

Here is the ad/order form that mikesplace30 talked about.

I believe each market area had a different player in the ad. Yogi Berra in this one. I recall in the Philly area it was Art Mahaffey.

Strange more of these have not shown up over the years, especially with some of the superstars like Aaron being available.

Thanks mikesplace30!

So now that you all have seen this does anyone have others players to post?

Were the ads in magazines or an insert in the local paper?

The ad with Yogi Berra is printed on newspaper stock. I am not the original owner but i am guessing it came from one of those supplements they used to put in the Sunday paper as the size of the ad is consistent with that and the backside has a story on world jamborees.
