1951-54 Globe Printing Cards

I just happaned to pick up two San Jose Red Sox Globe cards this week. I also picked up the 1951 SJ Red Sox team picture/card (haven't scanned it yet). Would love to see the San Jose album, if anyone has it.

I've found 4 or 5 references in my vertical files index on these all from 1990 or earlier, I'll try and dig them up and scan them.

It would be great to see anything you have related to the Globe cards and to have this thread as a findable resource for others.

I found this image of a 1952 Dallas Eagles Don Mossi card on google. It differs from many other Globe cards in that it has a white border.

One more quick addition. In Bob Lemke's blog, he mentioned that Globe became involved with baseball in 1949, with the publication of the "Your California League" program/guide. He says that the team pictures look like later Globe cards, with the name in a white box. That is not exactly correct. The team player photos do look like later Globe cards, but with no names (see the San Jose team below). The back cover does, however, have photos of California League players who had gone on to the majors. Those photos look more like Globe cards, although their captions include team names (which, in my experience, Globe cards do not).
