As if it weren't impressive enough just to own this obscure team-issued photo set, Bill White surprised us with the bonus of 50-plus signatures! All of the 8x10 photos are hand-captioned in white ink and feature editorial notations on reverse from some type of publication usage. There is typical minor peripheral handling wear throughout. The signatures range from "5-9" strength. A trio of examples from Hall of Famer Steve Van Buren headlines the archive.
