looking for 1962 Ford Detroit Tiger postcards

[jimtigers65]

Updated 8 December 2024. Looking to purchase 1962 Ford Detroit Tiger postcards. I need the following:
Dick Brown
Phil Cavaretta
Jack Homel
Mike Roarke

I wrote Terry Fox asking him when these were taken? He said a Ford representative grabbed a bunch of players and posed them along side a Ford automobile during Lakeland FL spring training. Mr. Fox even sent me a signed postcard of himself.

I alway's wondered with Al Kaline and Norm Cash were not included in this set.

Thanks for looking
Jim

U should be able to find half of those with due diligence
The other half ive been looking for , for 15 years
And have only seen 1 of each in a personal collection that were all unsigned

[JMANOS]

Thx u in advance.

[jimtigers65]

I conduct a daily search of these postcards on ebay. The only ones that I see are Osbourne and Boros.

[Matt O'Halloran]

I have a signed Ron Nischwitz. Any idea of the value?

[jimtigers65]

Bump. Here is my collection so far...

http://

[jimtigers65]

Still looking for these.

[jimtigers65]

Why are the only ones advertised on ebay are Steve Boros and Larry Osbourne? I'm toying with the idea to see how many different autograph Osbournes I could get signed to various people. Heck, I have one made out to Jim and Dave.

[jimtigers65]

Picked up another Larry Osbourne autograph postcard. This was was made out to Chris.

Larry,

I saw them the other day when I was doing my daily search. What do you think of the opening bids?

[BeanTown]

Opening bids are most likely influenced from your want list above. Sellers will try to get top dollar known as "market price" when they know one person has to have it.

[sflayank]

They are high
The myatt is the toughest of those
Should go for 100-150

I don't see Colavito on your want list nor in your "have" post. ???

Bought a collection recently with dozens of old Tigers postcards (and most other teams). I was certain there were a few of these in there. Alas, I only found Fox, Mossi (x2), and Osborne. All signed, but not the ones you're looking for. I only got half of this collection, though. I'll check with my friend who has the other half. Hopefully we can help get you closer.

I would be interested in seeing what other Tiger postcards you picked up. In addition to the Ford set, Dodge Motor Company released postcards of Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan. Also, Lincoln Mercury released a few featuring Al Kaline.

Looks like a lot of team issued photo cards and JD McCarthy produced postcards. I'll try to grab you some pics a little later. Unfortunately, I don't see any other car-related ones like you mentioned.

I was able to pickup a Ron Kline this summer. I’m down to needing four more:
Dick Brown
Phil Cavarretta
Jack Homel
Mike Roarke


I had a bid on a Roarke on eBay a couple years ago but lost in the final minutes. I haven’t seen the other three postcards.

[jimtigers65]

I was excited that I received a private message regarding these postcards. However, I got the scammer saying “My old man ave this available in good condition.” Ugh…still looking😀
