Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist . . .1973-1974 TCMA complete 36 card "Autograph Series"* 1908 to 1960's Baseball Stars ~ COMPLETE SET ~ All 36 CardsIssued 1973-1974 by TCMA | Tough early TCMA set The Card Memorabilia Associates, Limited (TCMA) issued these 36 cards in 1973-1974 honoring popular then-living players who performed from 1908 (Rube Marquard) to the 1960's (Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Sandy Koufax, Warren Spahn and others) with many in-between. Cards measure 3-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, are blank-backed and specifically feature a blank spot at the bottom/front where the player could place his autograph. Cards of this size fit standard 4-pocket collector pages designed for old-style postcards.TCMA created a forward-looking set in these cards. They selected some very popular players - most of whom were willing signers both in person and via mail - the most commonly utilized means of the day. Had any enterprising collector taken time to get each of the 36 cards signed, he would have a feature of his personal collection worth thousands of dollars today. And, if you check eBay and the internet generally, you will discover individual cards are difficult to find with full sets almost nonexistent. Our price keeps the per-card price under $5.00. ~ This complete 36 card set consists of the following cards ~#1 Satchel Paige ~ #2 Phil Rizzuto ~ #3 Sid Gordon ~ #4 Ernie Lombardi ~ #5 Jesse Haines ~ #6 Joe Cronin ~ #7 Bill Terry ~ #8 Bill Dickey ~ #9 Joe DiMaggio ~ #10 Carl Hubbell ~ #11 Fred Lindstrom ~ #12 Ted Lyons ~ #13 Red Ruffing ~ #14 Joe McCarthy ~ #15 Bob Feller ~ #16 Yogi Berra ~ #17 Ford Frick & Whitey Ford ~ #18 Sandy Koufax ~ #19 Ted Williams ~ #20 Warren Spahn ~ #21 Al Rosen ~ #22 Luke Appling ~ #23 Joe Bush ~ #24 Joe Medwick ~ #25 Lou Boudreau ~ #26 Ralph Kiner ~ #27 Lloyd Waner ~ #28 Pee Wee Reese ~ #29 Duke Snider ~ #30 Sal Maglie ~ #31 Monte Irvin ~ #32 Lefty Gomez ~ #33 George Kelly ~ #34 Joe Adcock ~ #35 Max Carey ~ #36 Rube MarquardIn all, 32 of the 37 pictured (one card features two men - Whitey Ford and Ford Frick) are today members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

It is a picture of all-time baseball great Ted Williams with The Baseball Hobbyist's Steve Mitchell at a 1983 Connecticut sports collectors gathering - Ted's very first-ever collector event. On the second day of the show "The Splendid Splinter" visited with collectors and dealers and graciously granted this photo.
