Now I need a little help.
I acquired these two stickers but know absolutely nothing about them.
They both measure about 1 5/8 x 2 1/8.
Has anyone ever seen any like this before?
Do you know where they came from?
Always funny seeing Cabrera when he was that young.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the DiMaggios, I did a quick Google image search. It looks like the first one is from something called "Little Simon Sticker Book" (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-Little-Simon-Sticker-39-Joe-DiMaggio-Yankees-/120705333737) and the other is from a 1990 HOF Sticker Book (http://www.comc.com/Cards/Baseball/1990/HOF_Sticker_Book/39/Joe_DiMaggio/1956847). I found an image of the book here: http://www.mingster.org/magazine/book/Book%20-%20HOF%20Sticker%201990.jpg. That looks it would be fun to put together!
It's strange to see so young people on baseball cards. But that was fun that they scouted him right!
