Can you help me identify these? The first is a card of Jim Kaat. It measures about 2 5/8 x 3 7/16. I bought it from Lew Lipset who thought it might be an uncatalogued black & white version of the 1962 American Tract Society cards. That may be right, but I'm not sure. The card certainly has a Christian message like the ATS cards. But this one was published in Minneapolis. I don't think the ATS cards were. (Wikipedia says ATS was founded in NY and is now in Texas.) And the ATS cards do say "American Tract Society" right on them. This one doesn't. Any guesses?




The second one is a postcard-sized postcard of Minnie Minoso. The back is blank - no postcard markings. The front says "Salas New York" - perhaps the name of the photographer or publisher. Based on the uniform patch, it appears to be a picture from 1951. Again, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
