ED YOUNT, Outfielder ~ 1938 Oakland Oaks PCL photo card same as Signal Gas

Description: Periodically we experience problems with our scanner. Today is one of those days. Depending upon which view you choose, the first scan may 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!Offered for your consideration is . . . Vintage Photo-Card on 2X to 3X thick photo stockED YOUNT, Outfielder ~ 1938 Oakland Oaks: Enjoyed success in the minors as both player and player-manager Same photographs as 1938 Signal Gasoline baseball stamp In 1938, Signal Gasoline issued 24 photo stamps for distribution at Oakland Oaks Pacific Coast League games. An album for mounting the stamps was also issued. The originals are quite scarce. None is currently on eBay nor has one been offered in the past few months. Recently, we acquired 22 of the 24 in black & white photo card form. These photo-cards (1-13/16" X 2-3/4") are slightly larger than Signal Gas' stamps (1-5/8" X 2-3/8") and are on a thick (at least 2X to 4X normal photo stock). We contacted longtime PCL collectors who report they have never encountered them previously. We are offering individually one each of the 22 photo cards we acquired. They are likely NOT original to 1938. We would estimate they were produced in the 1960's or 1970's for someone's personal use since none (to our or our PCL friends' knowledge) was previously known to the hobby. Of the 24 original stamps, we acquired 22 different photo-cards. There was no card for Floyd Newkirk or Dutch Zwilling. The third and fourth scans show all 22 photo-cards we acquired, for informational purposes only. This offer is only for the one card listed in the title and shown in the first two scans.ANY number of single cards (up to and including 8" X 10" in size) will be shipped for the single card USPS Ground Advantage shipping rate if the buyer requests and waits for a combined invoice before paying. Shipment via eBay standard envelope service is also available within its limitations. Condition: Excellent (light stain/upper left on reverse) - check the high resolution scans; this is the actual photo-card the buyer will receive.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.
