Hi All,
I picked up 15 Baltimore Oriolies photo cards recently but have not had any luck in identifying who published the cards. My initial assumption was that they were team issued in 1958. The problem is that the cards measure 4" x 7" and the team issue for that year measures 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" according to the Standard Book of Baseball. Also, while my cards (see attached samples) look similar to the team issue of 1958 in terms of layout, some of the players featured on my cards were not part of the team issued set that year. The backs of the cards are blank. As far as I can tell, the only years that all of the players featured on my cards played together on the same roster was in 1958 and 1959. The cards I have feature:
H. Harold Brown
Brooks Robinson
Milton S. Pappas
Robert Charles Nieman
Gus Triandos
Harry Brecheen (coach)
Jerry Walker
Willie TasbyWilliam
Oliver O`Dell
William Loes
Guillermo Miranda
Eugene Woodling (2 different poses)
Gus Triandos (2 different poses)
Paul Rapier Richards
Does anyone know anything about these cards? Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
Jon
