I have a neighbor down the road where I just moved, who has a treasure trove of memorabilia, mostly cardinals, cubs, and brewers. a few others.. but im just at the tip of the iceburg.
among the auto'd baseballs, pennants, and all that, theres a bunch of these scrapbooks.
He found these recently at a sports-type flea market.
its all cardinals from the 30s?
dizzy dean, lots of babe ruth mentions.. but whats cool about them, are whoever the guy who put them together, was either a Really big fan, or connected somehow to the team. theres no autographs in it, but alot of box scores, newspaper articles/pictures, typed player bios, stats.. and theres thousands of pages of this.
anyone come across these before? I have pictures here in my bucket.
I think this old stuff is great, never was into it before, but when you go in this guys house, you get a nice appreciation for old baseball.
check out the pics. any comments would be great.
