Like you Craig, I had one of these posters back in the day. The poster graphically illustrates the creativity of the program covers the individual teams would present, and the mundane, corporate and disappointing covers MLB pushed out there.
Even though I am not a Mets fan, I have to admit the 1969 Mets featured a cover by the late cartoonist Bill Gallo that was really cool.
Surely, MLB can do better than this.

Oh, what a glorious year that was (when I had just turned 12 that October.)

What? It’s raining there? Never mind.

Given the current cost of inkjet printer cartridges, that enables me to save maybe a dollar or two over the original retail cost of the program.

You can usually find one on eBay if you search for “Lipton World Series program poster” or something like it.

When they started to charge 10+ dollars for a program, I decided it wasn’t worth the cost. Now it’s 15-20 dollars for a program, which is ridiculous.

Man, that really takes me back. I remember being a kid and just becoming absolutely absorbed with things like that. For me it was spending hours looking at my baseball cards, but I could have easily have gotten lost in a poster like that, too…
