 Lot 109. 15 Signed 1940s-50s St. Louis Cardinals Team Postcards – Slaughter, Haddix, Etc. The Cardinals issued these postcards starting, apparently, in 1949. On the back, four from 1949-50 have the logo with two Cardinals on a bat. One of these has a “Dear Cardinal Fan” salutation, and three say “Dear Friend”: Johnny Bucha, “Fan” salutation, died 1996, ex-m card, 8-9 of 10 autograph with a very slight smudge under “Johnny.” Al Schoendienst, g+ card mailed in 1950, strong 8-9 signature. Enos Slaughter, d. 2002, f-g card mailed 1949, 6-7 signature. Ed Kazak, d. 1999, played third base 1948-52, ex+ card, 10 signature. Also, a vg+ to ex card of Eddie Dyer from the same era signed by Mrs. Dyer. These four postcards from 1951-53 are printed on an uncoated paper stock and say “St. Louis Cardinals, Sportsman’s Park” on the back: Cliff Chambers, g card with four pinholes, 9 signature. Red Schoendienst, g-vg card, 9-10 autograph. Enos Slaughter, p-f card mailed in 1951, 5-6 signature. Jerry Staley, g-vg card, 8-9 signature on his photo. These six cards are printed on glossy paper stock and have the same backs as the four immediately above: Ferrell “Andy” Anderson, died 1978, major league career consisted of 1946 with Brooklyn, 1953 with St. Louis. Card has tape in all four corners, was mailed in 1953, and otherwise is ex. Signature is a strong 8-9 with see-through tape over “son” in his last name. Pete Castiglione, ex-m card signed twice, on the photo and after “Sincerely.” Both signatures are 9-10, Paul La Palme, vg+ card, 8-9 signature personalized to “Seth.” Jerry Staley, ex card, 9-10 signature on his photo. Finally – and we think we’ve saved the best for last: Harvey Haddix, a mint 9 to gem mint 10 signature on an ex postcard. This is an outstanding example of the Kitten’s signature. And Enos Slaughter, vg+ card mailed in 1953, bold 10 signature in green ink. On the back, Slaughter added a personal note and signed it “Enos.” Authenticated by Kevin Keating
