Rare Ted Williams postcard
Although technically a postcard, by far and away my rarest. There may be another out there, but have yet to meet the person who owns one.
This early Ted Williams, by my research is from the 1941 year, supported by the "matching" Joe DiMaggio (owned by bbpostcards [sportingoregon]). The 1941 competition between Williams and DiMaggio "sparked" baseball that year. Both bbpostcards and I wanted the pair, yet neither of us was willing to part with the one we had. I suspect that this was a "promo" done by Gillette Razor, who started in the late 1930's or early 1940's to advertise with sports heroes (see the 1940 World Series Razor box), which due to the overwhelming success, led to the origin of the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports that ran on radio and then television from 1942-1960.
