In 1980, Perez-Steele Galleries of Ft. Washington,
Pa., produced the first in a series of limited-edition (10,000
each) postcards devoted to members of the Hall of Fame. The company
updates its series regularly to add new inductees. The 3-1/2"
X 5-1/2" cards feature color portrait and smaller sepia action
watercolor paintings by Dick Perez. Decorative postcard backs
have a few words about the player, card and series number and
individual set number from within the edition of 10,000. Cards
were sold in series only, in a color-coded box which includes
a checklist. The Bill Foster card above is in NM condition and
graded so by PSA.
