Default 1947 Morley Studios Tacoma Tigers

Although this is a few years later than Pre-WWII it's close enough for government work to be on the front page. For the record, the further off topic a thread is the more it should really be in another section. I don't t think I/we have ever said anything about any 1940s baseball card on the front page.

That being said here is a neat little card recently added to the type set. It is from the 1947 Morley Studios Tacoma Tigers set. According to the SCD Big Book, this set features players from the Western International League. There were 28 cards in the set. Interestingly too, on this card the word "Breadcaster" is at the bottom which refers to the sponsor, Jordon's Bread ( I presume) along with the name of the broadcaster. ....I can't say I have looked for them but this is the first one I have seen and it has some neat equipment pictured too...If anyone has more let's see them.
