Default good info

Another very nice lurker sent me some information on the 1941 card and has allowed it to be shared. One down and one to go....

"This was a give away at a Bill Lawrence night at Sick's Stadium in 1941. I have a newspaper article which announces this tribute night, including a mention of the picture give away. To cement the association further, the scrapbook that has the article also has one of these premiums glued in. If I can locate it fairly easily, I'll scan you a copy of the article.

I believe that this is a "one off", ie, they didn't produce these give aways for any other "player night" games. The Seattle ballclub did, however, give away 5"x7" photos of Babe Ruth at Sicks' Stadium at his last appearance in Seattle in 1948."
