1934 St. Louis Cardinals Gas House Gang card

Johnny Leonard R. "Pepper" Martin

Issued by TCMA, Ltd. in 1974 ~ *Trimmed to approximately 2-1/8" by 3-5/16"

In 1974 The Card Memorabilia Associates, Limited (TCMA) issued this card as part of their 1934 St. Louis Cardinals Gas House Gang commemorative card set, then the 40th anniversary of those zany champions. The '34 Cardinals Gas House Gang edged the Detroit Tigers, 4 games to 3, for world champion honors after slipping past the New York Giants by a scant 2 games to cop the National League pennant.

~ This Card is Trimmed ~

TCMA issued this card in the rather unusual 2-1/4" by 3-5/8". However, this particular card has been trimmed to approximately 2-1/8" by 3-5/16". Perhaps to mount the card in a standard (2-1/2" by 3-1/2") collector sheet, 5/16" was trimmed from the top and 1/8" off the edges. This effectively removed the title of the card (1934 Cardinals or Gas House Gang).

*Condition: Trimmed - check the high-resolution scans, front and back; this is the actual card the buyer will receive. A burgundy background has been provided to assist in evaluating the card's 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.
