[#51] FLOYD EHRMAN, FIRST CARD ~ S.F. Seals World War 2 II

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . Colorful Commemorative Baseball Card issued by Carl Aldana [#51*] - FLOYD EHRMAN (**First-Card ever) ~ World War II San Francisco Seals A single card from the Very Limited Edition FIRST PRINTING of just 250 sets Remember the old Pacific Coast League trading cards? You know: those colorful cards with rounded corners produced by Mother's Cookies back in 1952-53. Well, Carl Aldana has done it again! He has followed up his attractive 47-card 1950 Sommer & Kaufmann San Francisco Seals set with a colorful 72 card set of Seals from the World War II era! Offered here is a single card from the set. The card has been scanned, front and back in the first two scans. For collectors wishing to see the full set of 72 cards, those scans which follow show the front side of each. (Full sets may also be purchased at our eBay store.) Check out these scans. Every one of the 72 cards has been reproduced here ... from Hall of Fame member Tony Lazzeri to should-be HOF'er Lefty O'Doul to lots of fellows who became veteran big leaguers to some who never got to the majors. A few never even made the Seals! 20+ "FIRST CARDS" Perhaps most interesting to many collectors will be the inclusion of more than 20 players who never appeared on a baseball card before Carl Aldana enshrined them on their very own pasteboard as part of this set. Each of the 72 cards measures 2-1/4" by 3-1/2" - nearly identical to the early 1950s Mother's Cookies cards which were 1/16" narrower at 2-13/16" by 3-1/2". *Cards are unnumbered but we have assigned numbers for easier reference utilizing the checklist on the card backs. The set looks magnificent mounted in standard 9-pocket collector pages. Limited First Printing Unlike those 65-year-old originals, these cards will not be limited to the West Coast. However, since just 250 first printing sets have been made, they will be limited! **FIRST CARD According to the 2006 Beckett Baseball Card Alphabetical Checklist book, no baseball card for this man had ever been issued ... until now.
