Default Early Hobby Baseball Card Collectors

I was going through the proverbial boxes of "stuff" pushed aside for another day and found this postcard. My guess is circa 1980s? (maybe a little earlier)...
Reading about the early hobby days is interesting. This excerpt was taken from an SCD article, written by esteemed hobby researcher, George Vrechek, on Frank Jock.

"1896-1968 FRANK JOCK

Jock was an avid collector since his boyhood. He stored 1,500 pounds of sports memorabilia in a cottage behind his house. He was an admired collector, and Bob Jaspersen started an award which was given annually after Jock’s death to collectors who had improved the hobby."
