Default OT-Hall of Fame PC questions...

Posted By: T E

Back in 1969 I was at the Hall of Fame. I went into the souvenir shop. They had those glossy yellow backgound HOF plaque cards. But in a basket on the floor, they were selling these. I take it they were printed in 1939 for the "100 year Anniv."

The one showing the museum itself is blank-backed.

I'd love any knowledge on these cards, thanks!

What you have is the first type of HOF B/W postcards they made. They were produced by "National Base Ball Museum" from 1939-43, yours is the first type, made only in 1939, slight caption change on back from 1940-1943. Then Albertype produced the postcards from 1944-1950's, then they were replaced by Artvue which produced them until 1963. I believe that is when the Yellow ones began to be produced nearly uninterupted until the present day, 1970's Dexter Press ones were made for a short time but they were terrible for signatures and were discontinued.

Is this something I should authenticate if I ever decided to sell? I guess I should have scooped out a few more of these cards from that basket! The only other one I got is Cy Young.

TE, is that bottom one a postcard or an envelope? It looks very similar in design to my Ruth First Day Cover from the opening of the Hall in 1939.

THat really is cool looking. Mine is an unused PC, blank back. I guess they were both printed in 1939.
