Jim Rowe Postcards
Can anyone shed some light on Jim Rowe postcards for me? When were they printed, issued, what are they worth, etc?

1960s-1970s...He used Burke and Brace photos and put them on Kodak backed postcard paper. They are not worth a whole lot and you can pick up most of them for a buck or two when you find them in lots. It's a cheap way to get photos of early 20th century players, but sometimes the quality is lacking.

There is no catalog for them...They were definitely made in the 1960s or 70s. Not sure how he went about selling them...he may have advertised in the Sporting News or something like that. In 1977 he apparently sold sets of the 1956 Braves and 1929 Cubs..The SCD lists the original price for the sets so he must have advertised them somewhere. I've heard lots of people say that the Rowe postcards go back to the 1950s, but I have yet to see any proof of that.
I think if you were trying to collect all the postcards that Rowe put out it could be a neverending task.

I'm not trying to collect all of them, but I am trying to identify this one particular postcard. It strikes me as odd that he would sell a postcard of a no-name player 20 years after his retirement, which is why I'm suspicious that it dates from the late 40s or 50s.

I probably overpaid handsomely, but look at this fabulous Hank Aaron postcard I grabbed last week. Seems to be part of this same collection.

Yes; sure looks like a Rowe postcard to me. That's definitely a nice picture of Hank. I have a few examples of Brooks Robinson in my collection and the writing is similar. Congrats on the pickup! |
