Typewriter is my guess. I used to have a 1939 Play Ball Williams that someone had very neatly typed "Ted Williams" across the front bottom. The card was not creased or 'rolled'. I think I know why. My father had one of the old mechanical typewriters, and it was possible to place a baseball card partially in and type across it without rolling it under and creasing it.
I did not type on the Williams, in case anyone wondered.
