1951-54 Globe Printing Cards

[bocca001]

One more quick addition. In Bob Lemke's blog, he mentioned that Globe became involved with baseball in 1949, with the publication of the "Your California League" program/guide. He says that the team pictures look like later Globe cards, with the name in a white box. That is not exactly correct. The team player photos do look like later Globe cards, but with no names (see the San Jose team below). The back cover does, however, have photos of California League players who had gone on to the majors. Those photos look more like Globe cards, although their captions include team names (which, in my experience, Globe cards do not).
