Team cards checklist
I just picked up a very interesting collection on eBay. It’s every team card from 1956-1981. I have decided to flush this out by adding both earlier and later cards. I am aware of the Fatima cards, the Goudey large format and the 1951 Topps but I am wondering what else is out there. Any help would be appreciated.

1910 Orange borders hand cut.

R311 National Chicle has some team photos.
|
1947-66 Exhibits
|
I love this project. I get the feeling its a rabbit hole that might never end, but it's really cool.

There are tons of postcards both as single shots and composites.

At least with straight cards, it's not so "infinite". This below is a postcard proof but there is probably a postcard of it somewhere. |

Leon says postcard? Here's some more...
|
Thank you for all of the suggestions so far. Also I agree with Leon, postcards are out. Though team issued photopack type might stay in

For later regular Topps issues, they brought back team pictures from 2001 through 2007. Plus there are Topps Heritage team cards from 2005 - 2012 (covering 1956 - 1963 designs).
I've put together a Red Sox team set of Topps from 56-81 and 01-07. Looking now to the 1951 Topps Teams, the Fatima, and I think there's a 47-66 Exhibits Red Sox team card. |
If you’re willing to include supplements then M101-2 and 1904 Sporting Boiler Supplements contain team “cards”.

Team cards where you can actually discern the players pictures are some of my favorite cards. And that’s where postcards have them beat. But a goal to collect them all would not be very fun. But, not to pile on, trying for a team card of every team for every season might be a good way to incorporate postcards (for all the teams and years where there isn’t a card).
One of my favorites... https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5...ccec6e~mv2.jpg . |
