For the Baseball Hobbyist . . .

~ 1946-1952 Albertype Hall of Fame plaque postcard ~

~ Type 2 ("New York" is spelled out) ~

The Albertype Post Card Co. of Brooklyn, N.Y., for the period 1944-1952, was the official producer of the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum's plaque postcards. Each card was produced in 3-1/2" by 5-1/2" size and featured the bronze plaques in black & white.

Like their successor, Artvue, two styles of cards were issued. Baseball hobbyists have designated the 1944-1945 cards as Type 1. These are identified by the "N.Y." abbreviation for New York after Cooperstown on the front of each card. Type 2's, however, have the state name spelled out - as this card. This particular card is, therefore, a Type 2 Albertype Hall of Fame plaque postcard.

Condition: Excellent - check the high resolution scans (front and back); a burgundy background has been provided to assist in evaluating the card corners and edges.

Shipping OPTIONS are available - YOUR CHOICE of either eBay standard envelope service (ESE) which is cheaper with slower delivery or USPS Ground Advantage (more costly for single cards but much faster delivery). We also offer UNLIMITED singles (up to and including 8X10 inches in size) shipped via Ground Advantage for the one card rate. Both services include insurance but USPS Ground Advantage is considerably quicker, with fewer limitations.

Important: Shipping Information

Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low. Our primary objective is to sell cards and other things of interest to baseball hobbyists - not make money by overcharging on shipping.

  • To receive your combined shipping, please wait for us to send you a combined invoice. The eBay checkout system usually displays an incorrect shipping charge. (It is normally too high.) Please do not pay for each item separately; if you pay separately, there is no shipping discount.
  • We pack your order carefully - sandwiching cards between cardboard and utilizing boxes, bubble wrap, etc., as necessary - to ensure your items arrive in the condition you expect.
