Question about 1956 World Series Program

[Archive]

Hi, I just returned from a vintage paper show where I picked up a very nice 1956 World Series program. I looked on ebay and other websites to get some info and maybe a value. the one thing I noticed is that every program pictured on the internet is the same. Exactly like the one in this link.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=64490&item=5166949926&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

The one I bought is the exact same in every way except one. The cover art is reversed. The dodgers are on top and the yankees on the bottum. The inside, back cover and everything else seems to be the same. Any info or insight on this item would be greatly appreciated!!!

I can email pics if needed, I'm not sure how to post them on the board.

If Stengel is pictured on top, it is a Yankee home program.
If Alston is pictured on top, it is a Dodger home program.

The 1956 WS program is relatively common.

Thank you. I knew this question would be a cakewalk for board members. After seeing dozens of them on the internet, but not one like mine I got really curious.

Until relativeley recently, each team had its own Program. Now obvously, there is just one for both teams.
