Default Globe printing

How random that you bring up Globe Printing tonight. I was just (less than 10 minutes ago) looking at a 1953 program from an exhibition game between the NY Giants vs. Indians played in San Jose, CA. The entire back cover is an advertisement for Globe Printing, related to their production of baseball related material. There is also a picture of a Globe Printing display from some sort of professional conference (see pic).

The interior of the program contains what looks like Globe Printing cards (same style/format), for major league players (although they would not be blank backed). They are, however, smaller than the typical Globe printing cards (about 2 x 3). I wonder if your Dallas card may have come out of some sort of program?

All of my San Jose Red Sox Globe Printing cards are 2 1/4 by 3 3/8.

I know all of this doesn't exactly answer your question, but I thought I'd take this chance to add to the little that is out there/known about the association between Globe Printing and baseball. Their association with San Jose minor league baseball dates back to at least 1942, as I have a San Jose Owls program printed by Globe Printing. They seemed to stop producing San Jose baseball programs around 1957, when the team (and apparently many minor league teams) were having a tough time financially.
