Periodically we experience problems with our scanner. Today is one of those days. Depending upon which view you choose, the first scan will show horizontal lines and/or cross hatching marks. Rest assured, these are not on the card itself. Usually scanning problems are confined to color pictures but today it's "advanced" to black and white! (You will note that the second scan (reverse side of the card) exhibits none of these problems.) Offered for your consideration is . . . Vintage 1970's Giant Size 16" X 20" Puzzle in 500 Jig-Saw Pieces 1936 NEW YORK YANKEES ~ World Champions #1 Collector Series: Still as-issued, Factory-Sealed The Card Memorabilia Associates, Limited (TCMA) provided collectors with excellent additions to their collections for more than a decade during an era known as Topps-only - a time when Topps was virtually the only trading card producer. Offered here is one of TCMA's other items - other than cards - the first of their Collector Series jig-saw puzzles of famous baseball teams. Assembled it measures a giant size 16 X 20 inches in 500 pieces. This puzzle is still factory-sealed! Featured is the 1936 World Champion NEW YORK YANKEES - first of four straight world titles for the Bronx Bombers without Babe Ruth in the lineup. From a side panel on the box: "1936 NEW YORK YANKEES: Winning their first pennant since 1932, the '36 Yankees were graced with five future Hall of Famers. The immortal LOU GEHRIG led the American League in home runs with 49 and captured the Most Valuable Player award. BILL DICKEY led the club in hitting with a .362 mark while a rookie named JOE DiMAGGIO batted .323 with 125 runs batted in. RED RUFFING led the pitchers with 20 wins and the squad was managed by JOE McCARTHY. Rounding out the team that won 102 games and captured the World Series in six games over the Giants were TONY LAZZERI at second, Fankie Crosetti at short, Red Rolfe at third and George Selkirk and Jake Powell in the outfield." Condition: Factory-Sealed as shown in the scans Postscript: Our last scan has nothing to do with this listing. It is a picture of all-time baseball great Ted Williams with The Baseball Hobbyist's Steve Mitchell at a 1983 Connecticut sports collectors gathering - Ted's very first-ever collector event. On the second day of the show "The Splendid Splinter" visited with collectors and dealers and graciously posed for this photo. (Photo was taken by fellow collector-dealer Bob Thing, longtime Maine hobbyist). _______________________ Important: Shipping Information Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low. Our objective is to sell cards and other things of interest to baseball hobbyists - not make money by overcharging on shipping.
