For the Baseball Hobbyist The 1930's [#68] - WILLIAM HAROLD (Memphis Bill) TERRY ~ New York Giants from scarce 1972 TCMA set of 504 It seems like only yesterday when little series of 24 cards would arrive in the mail from a company back east with a very long, almost odd sounding name: The Card Memorabilia Associates, Limited. TCMA for short. But, really, it has been more than 35 years and those then easily obtainable cards picturing players of The Thirties are now tough to find. Not rare - just tough; very tough. Each one features a neat little borderless black and white photograph (except for a scant few in blue) with reverse side offering only set title (The 1930's), player name, team affiliation (and year(s)), card number and TCMA copyright. All in a package measuring a shy 2" by 3". It should be noted that centering, particularly when viewed from the back, was not always true. Warning: Do not try to complete a full set of 504 cards unless you have great patience and much luck. Do consider picking up a card or two of a favorite ballplayer, player from a favorite team or just a sample for your Type card collection. This card depicts William Harold "Memphis Bill" Terry - the last National Leaguer to hit .400 for a full major league season. Condition: Near-Mint 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.
