Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>I don't know if all the CJ's do, but lots of them anyway. A cursory check shows that all the '41 Playballs, '35 Diamond Stars and '49 Bowmans have it. '34 and '33 Goudeys sometimes have it as part of the player bio.

Posted By: <b>Dan Mathewson</b><p>The 1940 Play Ball issue has that info as well. I had to go back and look at the T201's and T202's. They have a lot of stat info and little write-ups, but not birth city/state. Even the T205's have quite a bit of info on the back, apart from just the tobacco ad.
