#54 BILL TERRY, Giants & HOF | 4.5"x 6" Conlon Smithsonian

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . Commemorating the Exhibition BASEBALL IMMORTALS | The National Portrait Gallery Smithsonian Institution #54 - William Harold "Bill" Terry ~ New York Giants & Longtime member, National Baseball Hall of Fame (HOF) Issued in 1984 honoring the 1905-1935 photography of Charles Martin Conlon by The Sporting News & Marketcom In 1984, The Sporting News and Marketcom, Incorporated, issued this card to commemorate the exhibition "BASEBALL IMMORTALS" featuring the photography of Charles Martin Conlon 1905-1935 at the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution. Measuring a large 4-1/2" by 6-1/8" it contains all the elements of a great baseball card: format, size, excellent player biography and superior picture quality. Marketcom started well with a Charles Martin Conlon image created from a large glass negative. They added a Baseball Immortals Smithsonian Institution logo and attractive layout for the remainder of the front. On the back, The Sporting News supplied its own historian and archivist, Paul MacFarlane, whose obvious love for the game and knowledge of its leading participants shines through his word-pictures. For the baseball hobbyist who is not locked into standard size and plain vanilla baseball cards, this effort is a refreshing, enlightening change of pace - and a must-have card. A great addition to any Type card collection or collection of team favorites.
