Alan ElefsonHi-
I recently acquired a photo pack from 1939-1940 of the Chicago Cubs. It was my understanding that these were issued at the ballpark, however my pack came in an envelope (please see scan) from the Andy Lotshaw Co. I googled the name and discovered he was the Cubs trainer from the early 1920s through the early 1950s. However, I could find no mention of his company (admittedly I am not the best online researcher). In this envelope there were 24 pictures, including several that are uncatalogued in either the 1939 or 1940 sets (Standard Catalog). Below is a scan of the envelope, as well as an Al Todd (uncatalogued). I will post the remaining uncatalogued pictures and the list tommorrow.
I was wondering if any one has seen a similar envelope or has any uncatalogued 1939/1940 issues? Big thanks to Dave S for his help identifying the year of issue and the unlisted players! Thank you in advance for any information.
