Hi: I am pretty sure the American is Jim Baumer. He played in Japan in the early 60's. See:

Fred,

Thank You. Yes, it is Jim Baumer. I was able to confirm it through another source. I appreciate your help.

I picked up a pair of 1920s-1930s Sociedade Industrial dos Tabacos de Angola cards, one of Rabbit Maranville and one with a wrong back but depicting an American player I need some help to ID. I will scan and post tomorrow. I know these have come up in a thread or two in the past but does anyone have any more info on them, like a checklist [any WTI owners out there]? I'd really like to ID that player #108.

Also got a 1929 A's premium from a soda mfg. with Grove, Simmons, Foxx, Cochrane, etc. on it. I'll scan and post that one too.

Thanks Jeff.
It was a trade with a board member and friend.
Do you know any background on the A's foldout PC?
