Bob Feller Now Pitching For Popsicle Advertising Sign

by

I’ve shared a Bob Feller Popsicle and Dreamsicle advertising signs before, but this version is the rarest of them all!

Mastro offered this one for sale in their August 2002 Sports & Americana Premier Catalog Auction. They described the piece as a 7” x 20” store display with a light center fold in NR/MT condition.

They said it was from 1947, but Feller and the Indians won the 1948 World Series, and the ad says World Champion on the left.

The rarity is undeniable; I’ve only found one other example on Paul Lukas’ Flickr page.

Where’s Wahoo? The 1993 Cleveland Indians Media Guide Cover

by

The Cleveland Indians hired San Francisco photographer Pat Johnson to create the cover for their 1993 media guide. The Cleveland expat mainly used his collection to create one of the greatest collages the hobby has ever seen!

Topps Magazine highlighted the cover in its Spring 1993 issue. Johnson said shooting the cover was a dream come true and likened it to a puzzle. He said, “The big items are a focal point at first, but two weeks later, you’ll find other things hidden in there.” Topps added that it was like one of those “Where’s Waldo?” cartoons.
