1950-70s Rawlings Premiums and Advertising - Help Request

1951WheatiesPremium

I am looking for information on the items in the title. The Rawlings Sporting Goods Company has been involved with baseball so long that it is woven into the tapestry of the history of our National Pastime. Their gloves are still some of the most popular and long ago they began offering signature player gloves. In the 1950’s, they released black and white 8x10s that would continue into the 1970’s in a variety of poses depending on the player. I believe they were given away in stores and could also be acquired through the mail.

Then starting in 1964, Rawlings launched the Super 8 line of gloves. For 1964-66, Rawlings went with these slightly smaller color premiums.

This last grouping I don’t have a ton of information on, other than they seem to pop up with a date of ‘1960’ and seem to have been in store ads. I have the Mickey, and in trying to track down info I came across these other two:

Any help or information is greatly appreciated
