1968-1969 SCFC art card: #43 WILBERT ROBINSON, Robins (Dodgers) HOF

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist . . . 1968-1969 Sports Cards For Collectors (SCFC*) #43 - WILBERT "UNCLE ROBBIE" ROBINSON ~ Brooklyn Robins (Dodgers) | Hall of Famer (HOF) Scarce Line Drawing Art Card made from original artwork by Myron S. Aronstein *In the late 1960's, collector Mike Aronstein started a company by the name of Sports Cards For Collectors (SCFC) - a forerunner to his later firm, TCMA (The Card Memorabilia Associates, Ltd.). His very first set featured line drawings of famous major league baseball players in a larger (approximately) 3-1/2" by 4-1/4" format. The back is blank for the first 36 cards (except for copyright line) but starting with card #37 brief biographical and playing information is shown. Cards of this size fit well in standard 4-pocket collector sheets designed for older size postcards. If memory serves correctly most of the drawings were done by Mike's uncle, Myron S. Aronstein. The project became too much for Myron (who usually signed MSA on his art pieces), however, so his wife did some of the drawings. Margie Aronstein's contributions are designated "MA". The first 36 cards were issued in 1968 while cards #37-78 followed in 1969. In addition, there were 4 checklist cards making 82 cards in the entire set. We are offering a card from this seldom-seen set. It is estimated that only a few hundred sets were originally produced nearly 50 years ago. This is a great opportunity for hobbyists to acquire a scarce card from a collector-issued set that was produced before the hobby's first sports collectors convention. Truly this is a card with both historic and baseball hobby pedigree! Condition: Very Good to Excellent or better - check the high-resolution scans. A blue background has been provided to assist in evaluating card corners and edges.Shipping OPTIONS are available - YOUR CHOICE of either eBay standard envelope service (ESE) which is cheaper with slower delivery or USPS Ground Advantage (more costly for single cards but much faster delivery). We also offer UNLIMITED singles (up to and including 8X10 inches in size) shipped via Ground Advantage for the one card rate. Both services include insurance but USPS Ground Advantage is considerably quicker, with fewer limitations. _______________________ Important: Shipping Information Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
