Hello,
I recently purchased this nice lot of team issued postcards for $64. I haven't received them yet but they appear to be in very nice shape as they were advertised as Ex-NM/MT.

I am trying to identify some of them. I know that the Bench and Perez are from the 1971 Team issue Postcard set. The Frank Robinson is from the 1972 Dodgers set. The Reggie is a 1972 Doug McWilliams A's set.

Does anyone know from what set the Al Kaline, Harmon Killebrew, and the Tom Seaver is from?

Thanks,
Phil

    Back scans are needed on some of them (Rizzuto etc.) The stampbox and back printer line is the easiest way to ID some of them especially pre1960 ones. The Rizzuto looks like a modern (1970s) George Burke Kodak RP PC (Many of them will have the players name hand written on the edge of the back in pencil/Pen), many of the others are team issues (Cards, Cubs, Dodgers, etc.)

    Phil,

    I'm most certain the Killebrew is from a team-issued set from the 1960s. I have several other Twins postcards in the same format. I believe I received a few from when the Twins players would circulate around the local states during the winter months and hand them out.

    I have a Sports Collectors Digest article on Twins-issued postcards. Let me know if you'd like me to scan and post it.

    Nice selection of postcards! You should add it to the postcard thread which has a fantastic viewing of postcards. You may find some of yours in there...

    How many of them are actually hand signed?

    It appears that only the Seaver, Berra, Rizzuto, Bill Russell and Billy Williams are actually signed and not a facsimlie.

    Since Frank Robinson only played for the Dodgers for one season (1972), it's hard to find much of him actually pictured as a Dodger (all you really ever see is the 1972 Topps "Traded" card).....first time I ever saw that postcard!

    Phil, I tried finding the article on the Twins' Team-issued postcards last night with no luck. I found out I need to label all the 3-ring binders I keep the ephemera in, so at least I got a start doing that!

    I'm going to keep looking because I'd like to re-read that article now and take inventory of what I have.

    Thanks for the motivation!

    The Berra and Seaver are likely pre-prints, not actually signed. Hard to tell from your pics but those pics were commonly sent to TTM requests c/o the Mets in the 1970s.
