viewer stashed away somewhere. Too bad tho because I'm sure many missing player images are in those issues.
I have Reach/Spalding/Sporting News Guides for every year from 1895 to 2005 with the exception of a handful. I've spent a little bit of time scouring for missing players, but it's a big job. And a few of the older ones are a little bit too delicate to scan for fear of ruining them. I should be getting back into the swing of things on the player pic front over the next few weeks. I'll see what I can dig up.
