Rare Ted Williams Stuff

[Harford20]

Today, a few Jimmy Fund Ted Williams membership cards. Start with the
1. Common 1959 (and the common "high-number" variation which has a different cropped photo and different ink on the back)
2. The Uncommon 1960 with the vertical Ted
3. The HTF 1956, 1957 and 1958
4. Finally, the "darn-near-impossible" 1963, 1971, 1972

Still two that I know of (1965 and 1967) that I do not own. Anybody have other years?

Love the Ted JF Cards!! I have the 65 ad 66.

I'm having a horrible time with picture hosting but I posted them on the FB Number 9 group some time ago....

If you are not a member, just request to join. I am an infrequent contributor, kinda like here, but I see some amazing cards.

EDIT- I found the 65 on my Photobucket page (which I haven't visited in some time)......

My snapshots of Ted

Something I have never seen i my 60 years of collecting. Uncut sheet of Star Cal Decals.

I had to pick this up even if I don't collect them myself. Figure someone else will be interested.

Sorry for the shadow at the bottom of my hands and camera taking the photo!

It is too bad that Billy DePalma is not on this site. He is the person who advertised for years in the back of SCD looking for rare Williams items. He was pretty nice when I met him and he worked for the Mass Turnpike Authority as a toll taker though the toll takers no longer exist. Even Ted liked him. They would have these real estate presentations at hotels in the Boston area for that development in Florida where he lived. I believe it was Islamorada. The ads would be in the Boston papers and occasionally there would be a little note that he would be appearing. It was a good chance to get something signed by him. I went to one near my house and during the presentation he came out into the hallway and saw Billy. The first words out of his mouth - "Billy, what have you got for me to sign." He then signed everything he had and then signed for me and a friend.

Not identified but, to paraphrase from Indiana Jones Quest for the Holy Grail, if that isn’t Ted Williams then I am Mickey Mouse

Ted in pinstripes. This is almost a fantasy piece for those who wonder what would've happened had the Williams - DiMaggio trade happened.

Dave,

No 1961 Jimmy Fund Membership Card. Your outline is correct. I have never seen or heard of a 1961 and just took a few minutes of searching and can’t find anything that would suggest there is one.
