Default 1948-49 Cleveland Indians Team Issues

I found a bunch of 1948-49 Cleveland Indians photos that appear to be just from the Team Issued Photo Packs but these all have thick script writing on them as opposed to the facsimile autographs I have always seen on these. Can anyone shed any light on these for me? There is a mix of portrait and action photos and even a few that appear to be on different type of paper. Any help is appreciated...

Total of 15 photos found

10 portraits like that of the Paige below on textured, thick paper...
1 portrait like Garcia below on a thinner non-textured paper stock...
3 action shots like the Gromek below on thicker, textured paper...
1 action shot like Boone below thtat is on a thinner paper stock...

Anyways, I just had never seen the Satchell Paige with the thick writing on front like the one I have.

Rhett,

Is the size of the photos the same as those in the Indians photo packs? Are they all the same size?

The different type of scripts kind of remind me of the ones used on the various Indians team-issued postcards from the same era. When I get home I'll look through my PCs to see whether the placement of the names is the same that's on your photos.

Rob, all the photos are the same size, and are the size of the "regular" photo pack issue. When I saw the script writing I immediately thought it looked like the writing on the Bond Bread issue.

I checked my Indians postcards and came up empty trying to match the fonts that are shown on your photos. A couple were close but not a match. I'll keep checking through my Indians paper collectibles and advertising pieces to see whether any clues pop up.

Default 1948-49 Cleveland Indians Team Issues

I recall there was a similar thread a few months back and it was suggested by several people that they are a 1950 team issue. The original poster had the envelope they came in, and it was the same envelope as the '48 set ... ...

I had a posting about the 1950 version of this set on my blog on May 23. You can hit the link below and check the older posts to find it.
