1947 Bowman: #102 AL ZARILLA, Browns | 1977 HRT/RES PRE-EPSCC show promo card A

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist . . . Card #102 - AL ZARILLA ~ St. Louis Browns from the 1947 BOWMAN BASEBALL CARD SET aka "The Set That Never Was" ~ scarce 1976 collector-issued set by HRT/RES An interesting and very collectible set patterned after the original 1948 Bowman Baseball Card Series is this "1947" edition produced by Ted Taylor (HRT) and Robert Schmierer (RES) to promote their Philadelphia Area (later Eastern Pennsylvania Sports Collectors Convention) sports memorabilia and baseball card shows in 1976-1977. Made in the similar size and style and from clay-based cardboard as the original Philadelphia gum company's product, the Taylor/Schmierer edition was billed as The Set That Never Was. HRT/RES issued the 1947 Bowman cards in three series over a two-year period: The first series consisting of 49 cards plus T206 Honus Wagner promo were issued in 1976 (2,000 sets) while series 2 and 3 were issued in 1977 with just 1,000 sets produced. This card is from one of the scarcer series. Card size is 2-1/4 by 2-1/2 inches - similar size as the 1948 through 1950 Bowman Gum cards (2-1/16" X 2-1/2"). They fit seamlessly alongside those 75+ year old vintage Bowmans.Each card is nicely executed with in-depth biography written as if the card had just been issued - in 1947. Collectors will want to add some of their favorites to their holdings.Shipping options are available - YOUR CHOICE of either eBay standard envelope service (which is cheaper and slower) or USPS Ground Advantage (more costly for single cards but much faster delivery).
