Original 1971 Major League Baseball Productions New York Mets Poster

Description

This poster comes directly from the archive room of  Brown and Bigelow, -  the 125 year old St. Paul, Minnesota based merchandise, licensing, manufacturing and publishing company. Among other things Brown and Bigelow was the leading manufacturer of playing cards and calendars - employing the top pin up artists in the country. By the 1940's Brown and Bigelow was one of the largest calendar printers in the world (thanks in part to the art of Norman Rockwell) and at one point their work could be found in fifty million homes.
These are original posters, that remained in their original wrapping until I took them out to photograph for you. (Afterwards, I very, very carefully put them back in the original plastic wrap.  They are copyright 1968, but were printed in 1971 for Major League baseball production.
Artist - Smith
Some of the posters have a small toning mark in the upper left side of the border - look at pics
Posters are 29" High by 23" wide
Not sure on the players but 2 of them look an awful lot like Willie Mays and Tom Seaver.
Please like my store, as once the posters are gone, I will auction off the original box! I may also be able to get the football, and other prints in the series. Stay tuned!
