eBay: Linnett Dodger Portraits

For 50 cents in 1976 you could get one great drawing of your favorite ballplayer. They were drawn by Charles Linnett from Walpole, MA, and featured pencil drawn portraits. At the time, you could get drawings from every sport imaginable; such as Baseball, football, the NBA, hockey and the Globetrotters. Below are are five different Dodgers recently found on eBay.
