1950-1970 St Louis Cardinals & Cleveland Indians Postcard Checklists HELP

[rhettyeakley]

With the time that I have had on my hands I am very slowly plugging away on cataloging my Cleveland Indians and St Louis Cardinals team issued postcards (or Photocards as they call the Cardinals issue).

Does anyone have a master checklist for either series?

I have used the Sports Collectors Bible for organizing the Cleveland Indians team issued postcards and it is pretty helpful for those although I have a lot that aren't in there and am missing quite a few that are in there. I probably have 400+ of these before they moved to the standardized color issues of 1973 and on.

The St Louis Cardinals Photocards are an absolute beast of an issue to organize. I have long collected the issues from around 1950 to 1970 (easy to date before 1971 as they switched to the pull-over jersey style for the 1971 season and that is how I have always cut them off. I am now looking at a stack of probably 300-400 or so from the pull-over 1971-1978 era that I have absolutely no way to make any headway in organizing them. There used to be a great website that had the issues all dated and the seemingly infinite variations cataloged that I used for years for the pre-1971 issues but it seems like that site is no longer around and I am a bit lost.

Any help from the team issue collectors would be much appreciated.

Rhett:
From 1977 until about 1993 I published a color postcard checklist which contained most if not all of the Indian issues. If you will email me your mailing address I will send you copies of the Cleveland pages.

Mark, that would be awesome. Let me know postage and I’ll PayPal you some money to cover the cost of making and shipping it!
