Julie VognarApologies to John and everyone--Gibson died Jan 20, '47, as John said, of a stroke or a brain tumor or complications of one leading to the other...
In a quick google search, I found two GORGEOUS photos of Gibson (far nicer than the one on the card), and I'd settle so fast for an original one of those...I really don't find photos inferior to cards, especislly when they're SUPERIOR to cards. In both photos, one comonly colorized, and one commonly shown in black and white, he's squatting and looking up at the photograspher--great face!--in the b and w one, he's in full catcher's gear; in the other (better known), he's in an ordinary baseball uniform.
I'd take one of those photos over the card in a heartbeat.
