The front is great but I feel like it’s more like a photo than a trading card to me.

One of firsts cards i had as well as one of my favorite player from that time, He used to always sign autos for us kids outside the park. This card I have very very worn out and one I can remember trying in my pockets, which just sounds mortifying now.

Do any of you older folks remember vending machines at the ballpark where you could buy cards like this? I have a faint memory of going to Tiger stadium in the late 60’s and seeing cards like this available in vending machines. I feel like the machines were in the bathroom but that could be way off. If true was it unique to the Tigers or did all balllvparks have these?

Looks like the photo was taken perhaps at the beach or somewhere similar .. Gotta love the simplicity of both the front and back...

Nice item. I don't think that these are very common.
