Which five do you have? What do you mean by "The Flynn also has ....."

Do you have "Magic is Back" or "Magic is Real" signs?

Oh the stuff I ruined with cheap tape from Woolworths ... Yup. Me too. I could only imagine what the originals of those drawings would take in right about now. Stark was a friend of my father's for a time and a great caricaturist who did a lot of TV/movie stuff as well as sports. I had a few wall posters of his - Get Smart & F-Troop IIRC - which I wish I had kept in better shape and hung onto.

Cant find the F troop, but I do recall it.

That's the 'Get Smart' one I was thinking of but now that I see it I realize that it's a Jack Davis (Mad Mag) not Bruce Stark.

In looking up the Stark stuff earlier I read how he had done posters for various TV shows and I assumed that the one I had was his. Nope.

I suspected that you might've gotten Jack Davis and Bruce Stark mixed up. David did a lot of work for TV Guide Magazine from the mid-60's though the 70's. He caricatured most of the shows you referred to in your post.

I am getting the Flynn and Mazzilli in the next few weeks..I am missing the Mazzilli sign for the magic is back..Here is my dungeon..
I just picket up the Hubie Brooks caricature which is not shown done by Bruce Stark in the 82 set.

Brilliant.

I think there's also a Spanish-language version of the Taveras one. Either that, or it's reversible.

Wow, I saw the style and did not even look at the signature.
Were they twins separated at birth or something?
How much other Davis stuff have I mistaken for Stark?
My perspective of reality has been shaken!

That's not an actual Willie Mays jersey you're wearing in the photos, is it?

[Benjamin Grimm]

That would be like using the Shroud of Turin as a bath towel.

[Guest dcrules01]

No it's a mitchell and ness as well as the Dykstra road and the Youngblood and Mazzilli home. I don't wear my gamers lol not that I would fit into them anyways.

I think you're hiding your coolest Met jerseys from the forum. Here's what you're missing from the 1980 Magic is Back ad campaign besides the Mazzilli subway strip insert that was displayed inside MTA trains above the seating benches:

A huge Magic is Back Lee Mazzilli poster (about 4' x 4' or perhaps even larger) This hard to find (but I have one) subway poster contains the same photography and copy that is on the Mazzilli strip --- but the layout is different because the subway poster is square while the strip is rectangular.

A Magic is Back subway poster (rectangular and not as large as the aforementioned Maz poster) including photographs of practically every single 1980 Met. Even Ed Glynn.

Junk in the trunk and junk on my desk. This paperweight's been on my desk for years. And years. I never use it. In fact, it always ends up underneath all of my other junk, counter-purpose. It looks like a stadium giveaway, but I don't specifically recall how or where I acquired it.



Dave Kingman and new Mets George Bamberger and George Foster.
