JIM BOTTOMLEY, Cardinals/Browns | 1973-80 TCMA All-Time Greats postcard Type 1 B

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . 1973-1980 All-Time Greats postcard James LeRoy "SUNNY JIM" BOTTOMLEY ~ St. Louis Cardinals & Browns; also Cincinnati Reds | Type 1* Postcard Size: 3-1/2" by 5-1/2" issued by TCMA, Ltd.For nearly a decade The Card Memorabilia Associates, Limited (TCMA) issued All-Time Greats Postcards depicting Baseball Hall of Fame members. Each proclaimed ALL-TIME Greats in a stylish banner across the top with ball and bat on either side. Distinctive black borders, player name and, of course, a photo of the player completed the front side. The backs differed - from variations of a standard postcard to postcard with statistics to blank back!The cards were originally issued in series - six of them - but in our travels it is apparent that either new photos were substituted for the same player within a series or ??? For example, we have seen two different pictures for: Christy Mathewson, John McGraw, Monte Irvin and others. In fact, Elmer Flick appears in different uniforms (A's and Indians)! So, clearly, a bit of mystery shrouds this interesting set.This is an opportunity to pick up a postcard of a Hall of Famer, favorite player, team, Type card collection or ...? at reasonable cost. As usual any number of similar size cards can be combined at no additional postage fee.ANY number of single cards (up to and including 8" by 10" in size) will be shipped for the one single-card cost IF the buyer will request and wait for a combined invoice before paying. Questions? Email us.*Type 1 or Type 2: This particular card has been observed as Type 1 (with a 1/4" diamond shape to the left of Bottomley's image on the front) and Type 2 (NO diamond). We believe this was a printing error in the early printing and was corrected in late press runs. A check of eBay will reveal the cards with "diamond" present are much scarcer than those without it.Condition: Very Good/Excellent - check the high-resolution scans, front and back; this is the actual card the buyer will receive._______________________Important: Shipping Information Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
