"Spook" was a 2nd baseman for the Phila. A's and during his playing career he collected baseball stamps from all over the world. His is said to be the largest and rarest of its kind in the world. In 2001, the Baseball Hall of Fame decided to make space in their museum to exhibit this amazing collection. It was on display in Oaxaca, Mexico and to have it moved to Cooperstown was going to cost money. So up to the plate stepped former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Peter O'Malley who financed the move and it went on display for a year starting on October 1, 2001. This has a Baseball Hall of Fame postage stamp on it and is cancelled with the commemorative date by the Cooperstown, NY Post Office.

This is a copy of the April 1, 1946 Life Magazine with St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Charles "Red" Barrett on the cover. These early editions usually mentiond spring training for major league baseball. Other topics covered in this post-war issue were politics, the Holy Land and Pearl Harbor. And famous personalities like Danny Kaye and Boris Karloff did print ads for products. One other surprising thing about this issue is the showing of bare-chested Balinese women in another article. A rare occurance for 1946 standards. I guess censorship only pertained to American women, not women from Bali. Not autographed.

This is a copy of the April 5, 1948 issue of Life Magazine with major league hopefuls on the front cover. The article is titled "Dodgers Rookies." Other articles include stories about General Douglas MacArthur, life in the Ozarks, the Chinese Emperess and musician Arthur Rubenstein. Not autographed.
