Phil A's auto PCs--When issued??

[Archive]

Posted By: Fred Y

I just recvd 4 PCs I won at auction. Here's hoping someone can help identify the possible year of issue or how they were issued.

The 4 players all played for the Phil A's, but in various time periods. All PCs have the same identical reverse.

Flohr--1934 only, Hauser--1922 thru '28, Hasson--1937-38 and Chapman 1938 thru 1951.

Because of the great range of yrs it doesn't seem likely it was a Team issue, but who knows?



SIDE NOTE: Mort Flohr was a cousin of mine. He was a fine college pitcher and was signed straight off the campus of Duke University in 1934 by Connie Mack and went directly to the A's team. He appeared in 14 games in'34 and hurt his arm--He never appeared in a ML game again.

To my knowledge he was never pictured on a baseball card of any kind, so when I saw this picture PC of him it was the first time I have ever seen him on a card. The auto I knew was authentic comparing it to 2 index card autos I got from Mort in the middle '80s. He died in 1994.

Here are the front & back of Flohr and the other 3 fronts, along w/ Mort's autos I own.










Any help will be greatly appreciated!
