#23 FRANK CRESPI, St. Louis Cardinals ~ 1942 Play Ball USA | 1976 HRT/RES

Description: 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 . . .Commemorative Card issued by HRT/RES in 1976... #23 - FRANK "CREEPY" CRESPI ~ St. Louis Cardinals A Limited Edition of just 2,000 Several years before TCMA (The Card Memorabilia Associates, Ltd.) issued eight series in an effort to continue Gum, Incorporated's popular Play Ball series of 1939 to 1941, two Philadelphia area collectors - Ted Taylor (HRT) and Bob Schmierer (RES) combined to issue an excellent series which they called, "1942 Play Ball - U.S.A."The cards were well executed, offering collectors a selection of team and player favorites of the era.Card size is 2-1/2" by 3-1/8" - same size as the original Gum, Inc. Play Balls. Cards of this size fit well in standard 9-pocket collector sheets with plenty of card coverage.ANY number of single cards (up to and including 8 by 10 inches in size) will be shipped for the single card rate, if the buyer will request and await a combined invoice before paying. Unsure how to do this, please email us for instructions.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. Condition: Crisp Near-Mint - check the scans, front and back; a blue background has been provided to assist in evaluating card corners and edges. This is the actual 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. Our objective is to sell cards and other things of interest to baseball hobbyists - not make money by overcharging on shipping. U.S. residents: We combine multiple items purchased so you pay only the shipping on the heaviest item - all other items ship free of charge. (An exception would be if an item must be sent via media/book rate.) All Other Countries: Email us first. To receive your combined shipping, please wait for us to send you a combined invoice. The eBay checkout system usually displays an incorrect shipping charge. (It is normally too high.) Please do not pay for each item separately; if you pay separately, there is no shipping discount. We pack your order carefully - sandwiching cards between cardboard and utilizing boxes, bubble wrap, etc., as necessary - to ensure your items arrive in the condition you expect. Items are shipped the next business day after we receive your payment. We ship 5 - usually 6 - days each week. Payment should be made within 7 days after notification of purchase.
