1947 Morley Studios Tacoma Tigers
 
These are a couple of years after our regular years in this section but close enough for govt. work. WE just don't see these every day and I think that is part of the intrigue for me... These are recently added to my burgeoning second collection. Size is approx 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches, though at least one of these is trimmed

I have always loved the Morley Studios set, in reality they are a Bread Issue as Jordan's was a Bread Company. They should be a D-designation in the ACC. I am missing 4 for the set and have a lead on 3 of those but would love to pick up the Tinsley as that may be the last one I need (if anyone happened to have one laying around).

Seen far less frequently are the RPPC Team Postcards made for the various teams in the Western International League in 1947...

As Rhett said, the 1946 Morley team RPPCs surface very infrequently.

There is also a very attractive set of individual player PCs from 1946 (see picture below).

Toughest of all in my experience is the 1948 multi-player postcard-sized, blank back set ( sample also pictured below).

The envelope for the 1947 cards is nice (and tough!) too, and addresses Rhett's comment about how they were issued and distributed ;)

Amazing items! Great pose on the horizontal Chetkovich.

Thought I'd add this post to the Morley Studios thread, straying away from baseball for a moment.

Morley Studios and Washington Hardware Co. Sports Shop teamed up to issue glossy postcard sized/postcard stock, blank-backed cards of the 1947-48 Pacific Coast Hockey League Tacoma Rockets. There are 15 different, as far as I know. Here are four of them.

Might as well bump this old thread with some new pick ups. Neat little cards here...
