1930s George Burke Photo Cards

[Leon]

There have been conversations about Burke photo cards and postcards, over the years. I just picked this one up from J.R. (thanks John)...it's from 1935 as Maranvllle was only on the Braves in 1935. (I took that from his listing)

These are relatively cheap and I think collecting them could be fun. A quick search or two, shows there are a lot of different varieties. I like this one as it has his name etched on the front. Any others out there that folks would care to share?

I have a few post cards that came from the Uncle Jimmy collection. I have them with my other Burke photos. They are the same Burke images with the traditional postcard back. No signature.

Not sure I have them saved anywhere easily accessed to post.

Maranville didn't play in '34, but he was with the Braves for a number of years before that.

I have a bunch of photos with George Burke's stamp on the backs, although I never thought of them as cards. Here's one of Johnny Vander Meer ...

Me neither except for ones like the one I posted. With that"etching" of his name on front it really has a card look to it, to me. But then again, I am a card guy.
