New TCMA Postcard Issue - *First Samples*

[TCMA]

Gentlemen, I'm happy to report things are moving ahead (albeit slowly) with our new postcard series featuring ballplayers from the 1930's. These samples were printed on the thickest stock we had in-house but we're shooting for at least 14pt card stock for the finished product. These cards will also feature postcard backs with a 1930's feel, which are still in the design stages.

As mentioned previously, we're revisiting the collection of original glass plate negatives used to create the 504 card "The 1930's" set in 1972 and several other TCMA issues from the era. Our new project is being produced by creating all-new scans of the glass plates and restoring the images so they can be presented in never-before-seen clarity. Many of the images we'll be using have never been seen by the public or previously offered on a card of any kind.

Excitingly, we've also recently discovered several damaged glass plates from of the 1928 Philadelphia Athletics that we have scanned and restored, including images of Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Eddie Collins, Zack Wheat and others.

For now, enjoy the first rough samples and I'll be updating the community as we continue to get closer to production.
