View Full Version : 1936 Pat Ankenman St. Louis Team set?
Trying for a set id on this card. It looks to be a 1936 Pat Ankenman St. Louis Team set card?.... It is on normal cardstock similar to what an E220 type card would be. It's approximately 3 3/8" x 5 1/2". Ankenman only played 3 seasons, according to Baseball-Reference.com, and his only one on St. Louis was 1936. I don't recognize this set. Any help will be appreciated. thanks

Cap appears to moderately resemble some Cards caps of the era but I have never seen that jersey associated with the big league Cards. Will be interested to see if anyone knows what team this is.

Looks like a minor league uniform to me. He played many years in the Cards minor league system. Might want to check American Assn issues.

May be a 1936 Columbus Redbirds uniform.

Thanks guys, nice work and much appreciated.
Here is another link.....It looks like he played the 1935 through the 1938 years with the Columbus Red Birds of the SALLY League. I thought the insignia is a cardinal but obviously not. It's a Red Bird :).

I figure one bump will be ok. Has anyone else seen any of these types of cards before?
