For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . 1911 Pinkerton T5 Photograph #502 – John “Colby Jack” Coombs ~ Philadelphia Athletics Reprinted in 1974 by TCMA with postcard back Among the scarcest of baseball cards are the photographs issued in 1911 by Pinkerton, a tobacco conglomerate which produced, among other products, Red Man chewing tobacco. The original Pinkertons carry an American Card Catalog designation of T5. In 1974 The Card Memorabilia Associates, Limited (TCMA) reprinted a dozen of those in postcard style honoring the great Philadelphia Athletics ballclubs: 1910 World Champions 1911 World Champions 1913 World Champions 1914 American League Champions If you find hundreds of dollars for “common” players in Very Good condition above your paygrade (and Hall of Famers costing thousands), consider this card to represent those costly originals. This TCMA postcard measures 3-5/8″ by 5-3/4″ and is more than 4 decades old. A blue background has been provided to allow evaulation of edges and corners for condition.
