Ray Medeiros
I corresponded with Ray for several years. In 2018, he told me he had a baseball card shop in the early eighties after he retired from the military in 1982. They issued a few player postcards and received such a positive response that they printed 12 at a time until it reached 128 postcards over a period of a few years. I’m guessing the postcards were printed between 1982 and 1985, but I can’t confirm that. Ray passed away a few years ago. Great guy. He was extremely generous with his knowledge of the hobby and shared many contacts who helped me build my collection and gain a great knowledge of postcards and photographers.
George Vrecheck wrote a great piece on Ray for SCD. If you haven’t read it yet, please Google it.
