Please help with this poster. I found this in Hawaii about 10 years ago, at a Army-Navy store in Hilo. It took me 4 years to get the guy to sell it to me. I have called the Hall of Fame, MLB and they could not tell me anything, about it. I have looked all over the web, and no luck. Just found this place, and maybe I can get some help here.I know that it is dated 6-15-1950 and that it is a USMC recruiting poster, that is all I can find out. I did find a picture of Ted, or Mr. Williams to you yankee fan's @ MLB.com Ted Williams,with the poster in the background. That is the only one I have ever seen. I have no idea of the value. So if anyone out in space can help with any info, how many were made, value.or anything I would be so thankful. I don't live in Hi., Alaska is my home come on up and check us out.

Don't have any info about your wonderful poster, but it would look great framed with a nice copy of the Ted Williams photo next to it.
GREAT poster, not one that I have seen before.
It may have been short lived/ quickly canceled due to the beginning of the Korean War with the Invasion of S. Korea on 25 JUN 1950. I would bet the USMC recruiting campaign changed pretty dramatically after the Invasion.
Ted Williams was recalled to active duty and served as a combat pilot in Korea.
