Converse Yearbooks

Converse Yearbooks were first published in 1922. Achieving a run of pre-1950 yearbooks is possible; however, it will take patience and persistence. 1930s yearbooks are reasonably tough to find and are very popular because of the great graphics on the covers. The 1920s yearbooks are hard to find items that you'll probably have to search for in many different places to find them all. The good news is that these are pretty durable and can be found in decent shape in many cases. Listed for right now are Converse Yearbooks through 1950. At some point, I'll add the ones after 1950. Also, three overseas editions were produced during World War 2 between 1942 and 1945. I am still determining if one was produced in 1941-42 as well.

Rare Album Postcard Acquired - March 1, 2016

Recently, I came across a surprising find - the 1928 Cuban Aguilitas Album Redemption postcard. When I've seen these in the past, they have always been baseball related. This one is basketball themed and shows the same image as card #397, the HNOS Maristas. The seller of this item said he found it in Cuba three decades ago. It is a nice and une...
