Card #22 - ELMER VALO, Philadelphia A's, from the 1946 Play Ball set issued in 1984 by TCMA

Increasingly popular among collectors and serious baseball fans desiring vintage replicas of their favorites are the cards issued by The Card Memorabilia Associates, Ltd. (TCMA). While many TCMA sets are actual reprints of earlier works, this card is NOT a reprint edition but an original issued in 1984. It was intended to provide hobbyists with a continuation of the popular Play Ball series begun in 1939 and discontinued after 1941 due to the onset of World War II.

This card is featured in the style and format of Gum, Incorporated's highly desired 1940 Play Ball series. 

ELMER VALO was born in Rybnik, Silesian, Poland (modern day Czechoslovakia) - one of the very few professional baseball players native to that nation. In 20 seasons in the big leagues, Elmer was a .282 lifetime hitter whose career high (.364) came in 1955 for the Kansas City Athletics.
