The 1947 Indians pictures include Larry Doby, but not Satchell Paige. The 1948 issue has both these players.
Does the 1947 Van Patricks issue portray either Doby or Paige ?
Also, is Joe Gordon in it ?

Thanks,

Ted,

The checklist I have, which was provided by Dan Even years ago, does not include Paige or Doby but does include Joe Gordon.

Thanks for the info. These postcards must have been issued during the Spring/Summer of '47.....nice stuff.

Do you have an extra of Joe Gordon ?

To be more specific, I think the photos were taken in spring training of 1947 (judging by the backgrounds on many of the shots). However, based on the fact that listeners to Indians broadcasts had to write in to request a postcard -- and the fact I have a couple postmarked July 1947 -- I think they were issued throughout the season.

I just checked my mail, I didn't receive your email.
