Yep definitely ‘51 and likely ‘52. The Cubs anniversary versions help pinpoint it, though there is not a known NYG “NL Champs” version like the Yankees and Dodgers. ‘52 explains the Dodgers. There is no known Milwaukee Braves version except for something similar in ‘57 with player names. White Sox had this Minnie Minoso version which could not be before ‘51, his first year with the team. Still using the blue jay for the Phillies, which was dumped before the ‘49 season but I suspect WGN didn’t have any better ideas.
