The 1930s [#2] Max F. "Tilly" BISHOP, 1924-1933 Athletics~A's (1972 TCMA) A

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist The 1930's [#2] - Max Frederick (Tilly) BISHOP, 1924-1933 Philadelphia Athletics from scarce 1972 TCMA set of 504+ cards 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. The first 72 cards in the TCMA The 1930s set are unnumbered but were assigned numbers (in alphabetical order using the men's last names) by hobbyists years ago. This is one of the first 72 cards. 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. Collector Warning! Warning: Do not try to complete a full set of 504 cards unless you have great patience and much luck. TCMA's The 1930's set may well be the most comprehensive set of cards picturing players of that decade. Do consider picking up a card or two of a favorite ballplayer, cards depicting players from a favorite team or just a sample for your Type card collection. Better than 90% of our TCMA The 1930's cards are the only copy in stock; frequently, it is the only card on all of eBay! Card condition: Near-Mint - check the high-resolution scans, front and back 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. _______________________ 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.

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.
