Mid 1950's Los Angeles Rams Team Issued Postcards?
 
I can't find much information on these cards. I picked up 4 of theese this past week at an antique store and 2 of them are signed and postmarked December 1955. Any ideas on values and or availability? Thanks in advance.

Can you post a picture of one of these? Are they actually postcard backs or just postcard size? A picture of the back would help too.

The Rams produced team issues throughout the 1950's that are close to the size of regular postcards but have information on the player on the back. Perhaps they produced postcards too but I know I don't have any if they did.

All of the Rams issues look like this:

Here is a photo of a couple of the cards. The other two are Leon McLaughlin and Dan Towler. Thanks for your input.

Yes. These are team issued cards. Both look like 1953s. Check them out here:

The Rams have the post card sized team issued sets from the 1950's in both black border (these) and white border.

Hi Rob. Not sure I've ever seen white borders on the Rams cards. Do you have a picture? I know other teams (49ers, Giants, Eagles, etc.) produced white bordered cards during the 50's.

Nice. Are the backs blank or have stats?

Stats...Just like the black borders.

Very cool, Rob. Thanks for the info on these! I'll have to keep my eye out for them now.
