1934 Detroit Pennant Winners 1934 - Large Premium Card

[SAllen2556]

This from the Detroit Free Press on 9/16/34. Sorry for the crappy quality. Different poses, but everyone is seated in the same order. Rudy York only played briefly in late August and early September '34 and then didn't get back to Detroit until '37, so I bet the photo was taken around then.

ICN made posters of current events that would be hung in public places, like bars and taverns. They were quad-folded for mailing and are about 16 x 20 (not sure of exact size but big enough to be annoying to store) There were other manufacturers as well in the same business. Here is an example from a competitor with a similar size and stock as yours:



Also blank-backed. I suspect that these were made for bars and taverns that did not want to take up the space for a poster.

My experience chasing Louis premiums is that the posters can be found but the smaller card stock pieces are rare. I'd guess yours falls into that category.
