Default 1951 Toleteros Gibson on Leland's

Posted By: Hal Lewis

That's what I was trying to say.

We know that other teammates of Gibson had these exact same postcards made of themselves... but ALL of them were found in their PERSONAL belongings...

and only ONE has been found for each teammate.



My guess is that photographers back then were just like photographers are still today...

and that is that they always print up ONE example of something to give to you, and hope that you will ORDER a bunch more from them.

The photographer may have made one postcard for each player, given it to them, and then said: "Call me if you want a bunch more of these to use for sending mail to your friends."
