Default 1948 Cleveland Indians giveway - Burke Motors, Perth Amboy NJ

Sharing a neat pickup that I had not seen before until it popped up in my ebay saved search. This is a 1948 Cleveland Indians Team Photo Poster featuring the newly minted WS champs, issued by Burke Motors from Perth Amboy, NJ. I believe the connection to the team is based on NJ native son Allie Clark, who autographed the poster. It measures about 11" x 9.5" and is in overall Gd-Pr condition with two pinholes, a crease on the left edge, and a mark which is a circle around Allie Clark's pic along with his autograph below left. This photo is different from other more common photos of the 1948 Indians, including the 1948 Baseball Magazine M114 photo shown for comparison. Overall extremely happy with this pickup, and will consider it part of my Indians Type Card collection!
