1947 Morley Studios Tacoma Tigers

Rare as hen's teeth is what they are. I always keep an eye out for them on Ebay, but no luck so far.

Very nice, thanks for posting. Have never come across one.

Never seen one either. Am very interested in this issue, especially if more of the WIL is represented, or is it only Tacoma players? Twenty eight seems like a lot for one team.

While not an extra rare issue card, I hope this team photo is not too off-topic. Here's my WIL contribution, 1948 Wenatchee Chiefs team photo. Close enough for government work, no?

Aside from the individual player cards, Morley Studios also produced a very nice set of RPPCs of all 8 WI League teams in 1947 ("EKC" postcard backs). Here are three of them.

They produced a set of postcard-sized, blank-backed real photo composite player cards of the 1948 WIL Tacoma tigers as well, one pictured here.

Finally, a picture of the very rare envelope which the cards came in, which pictures legendary Tacoma broadcaster Clay Huntington's card, and details the promotion.

Fun stuff!

Bumping an old thread for some new photo cards added...
