Pickup: Baseball Stars of 1954, w/ Cover Boys Roy Campanella and Al Rosen!

I let the below go once before on eBay and I didn't see it again for months. I wasn't sure I ever would, and the price was not even prohibitive the first time around. Thankfully it eventually reappeared and it was not passing me by a second time.


Featuring my two main vintage collections as cover boys -- Roy Campanella and Al Rosen -- it's a book straight out of 1954 that was had for right around $10. It catalogs and details 28 of baseball's stars in the mind of author Bruce Jacobs. The cover still has tremendous color and it was a no-brainer and a must, must-add considering who resides on said front cover.
