Incredible pair of autograph books dating to 1950 and 1951 assembled by a collector named Ronald Crooks beginning in May of 1950 and ending at some point in 1951 (we know this because each book is dated with Crooks' name written on the inside front cover of each). The presentation is simply amazing with each autograph page featuring a cut signature carefully placed underneath the player's 1950 of 1951 Bowman baseball card each of which have been glued onto the page. More than 110 signatures and cards are represented in total each on its own individual page. Each of the pages have been individually numbered in pencil in the upper-right corner with carefully-written notes on each page chronicling any trades or releases of any of the players. The first book includes signatures and 1950 Bowman cards of Alex Kellner Del Ennis Ralph Branca (1949 Bowman) Gil Hodges (1949 Bowman) Bob Morgan Alex Wojciechowicz (1948 Bowman Football - HOF) Ferris Fain Pete Suder (1951 Bowman) Eddie Joost Billy Hitchcock (1951 Bowman) Gus Zernial Allie Clark Elmer Valo Dave Philley Joe Tipton Ray Murray (magazine photo) Joe Astroth (magazine photo) Carl Scheib Joe Coleman Dick Fowler Bob Hooper (1951 Bowman) Ed Burtschy (no card) Floyd Baker Bobby Shantz Sherm Lollar Paul Lehner Ned Garver Ken Wood Lou Sleater (no card) Bob Mahoney (no card) Les McCrabb (no card) Jim Delsing (magazine photo) Kermit Wahl (magazine photo) Al Widmar (magazine photo) Bobby Hogue (magazine photo) Fred Marsh (magazine photo) Chief Bender (HOF - no card) Morrie Martin (no card) Ed Redys (no card) Joe Hatten Dutch Leonard Bruce Edwards (1951 Bowman) Hall Jeffcoat (1951 Bowman) Eddie Miksis (1951 Bowman) Mickey Owen (1951 Bowman) Hank Sauer (1951 Bowman) Bob Rush (1951 Bowman) Frank Baumholtz Paul Munner (magazine photo) Bob Ramazotti (1951 Bowman) Turk Lown (no card) Smoky Burgess (1951 Bowman) Johnny Klippstein (1951 Bowman) Bob Borokowski (no photo) Pete Castiglione (1951 Bowman) Vernon Law (1951 Bowman) and a few illegible.
