The first Hall of Fame postcards were
issued in two types between 1939-1943.
One set issued prior to the Hall of
Fame's opening in June, 1939, and a
later version issued after that
opening, until 1943. Albertype
Black-and-White Postcards were
published from 1944 to 1952 There were
two types. One, 1944-1945, reads
"Cooperstown, N.Y." (abbreviated) below
the plaque on the card front. "New
York" is not abbreviated on the second
type, produced from 1945 to 1952.
From 1953 to 1963 Artvue began producing the cards. These postcards
employed different fonts and different
backs than the Albertypes. There are
two types of Artvue postcards: type I,
printed from 1953-55, featured holes in
the corners of the plaques. Type II,
produced from 1956-63, has bolts in the
corner holes of the plaque. The back
feature a simple postcard with no stamp
box, and the divider reads; "Artuve
Post Card Co., 225 Fifth Avenue., New
York, N.Y."
Yellow Plaque Postcards were published from 1964 to 1978, then in 1980 to
the present. Curteichcolor produced the
HOF postcards from 1964 to 1980. In
1979, Dexter Press published postcards
in in deferent colors; red, blue,
green, orange, etc... and in 1981 Mike
Roberts of Oakland California took over
production. Senic Art began producing
Hall Of Fame postcards in 1997, and include;
year elected to the Baseball Hall Of
Fame, and date of printing.
