Here's a poster I got years ago. Fats was going to do promotional posters for the Bush league and they made about 50 pre productions but the deal fell through.

All of the posters were supposed to be destroyed but this one got out. I don't know how many, if any, others survived.

I think there is currently one on Ebay.
 
Talk about weird, I've had that thing in a tube in the closet for over 20 years.

Was doing some cleaning and got it out just to take a picture of it. In that whole time, I had never seen another one anywhere.

And now there is one on e-bay on the same day I post this picture of it. I mean how weird is that.

I wrote the guy to ask where he got his, because I got mine from the guy I bought the Southern Illinois franchise for the league from he got it from the main office in St. Louis.

So...how much are you asking for it?

I really hadn't planned on selling it, just thought I would show it to everyone.

It holds a lot of memories for me when I owned a franchise for a while.

I don't know what the reserve is on the one up for sale on e-bay, the guy never got back to me, but it's surely not that much.

Do you have a link? I can't seem to find it.

Jeff, what do you want for it?

The Ebay item number is 7195922935. It is currently at $25.00.
 
The guy finally answered me:

"Hi and sorry for not responding sooner. I am selling this for my father. He obtained this poster from a man who was an area rep for the APA at the start of the Busch league. The reserve is $25.00. Thanks"

Just as I thought, this poster was never circulated and the only people who had one were operators, reps, and the home office. And most were destroyed.
