1948-49 NY Giants Photo Pack Question

[Archive]

Posted By: Andy Baran

I own a 1948 NY Giants Photo Pack of Sid Gordon. The reason that I know it is from 1948 is that I bought the whole set, along with the 1948 Envelope to get the card that I wanted. What I am trying to find out is if the 1949 NY Giants Photo Pack Sid Gordon is identical to the 1948 card, or if there is a variation between the two. I know that the two sets have a slightly different checklist, so for players that are only in one set it is very easy to determine the year. However, Sid Gordon is in both sets. Is there anyone out there that can help me?

I had emailed a few friends on Andy's behalf about this question. FYI, the answer is that both are the same photo....Glad we could answer another mystery for a good guy.....regards

Leon,

I think that you mis-read the e-mail. They are both portrait shots, but they are distinctly different. I was very surprised to hear this.

I seem to be making a habit of misreading stuff lately. Thanks for the clarification. Glad you got the answer too...

I was lucky enough to receive fax copies of both the 1948 & 1949 NY Giants Photo Pack Sid Gordon cards. As it turns out, Sid Gordon is the only player that is represented in both sets with a different photo. All of the other players that are in both sets have the same picture. I already have the 1948 Photo. CAN ANYONE HELP ME LOCATE THE 1949 PHOTO PACK SID GORDON? I also need just the following Sid Gordon cards to complete my collection of every known Sid Gordon issued card:

1.) National Tea Bread Label
2.) Marshall Merrell Portfolios (2)
3.) 1977 John B. Anderson NY Teams
