Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . The Sporting News Conlon Collection playing cards Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig, New York Yankees One of each card back ~ YOUR CHOICE of suit and value (as long as supply lasts) This offer is for two cards - one each of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. These playing cards were produced from original negatives by famed photographer Charles Martin Conlon and then colorized for a dynamic, finished product. Cards are regular playing card size (2-1/4" by 3-1/2") or slightly smaller than standard post-1956 trading cards. They fit perfectly in 9-pocket sheets or regular toploader semi-hard holders. The cards were issued by The Sporting News as part of the Conlon Collection BASEBALL IMMORTALS exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution. While some advertise the cards as being of 1973 vintage, they actually were issued in 1984. The cards offered feature colorized photos of Yankee Hall of Fame greats Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig (card backs) with YOUR CHOICE of suit and card value, as long as supplies last. CHOOSE FROM...

Shipping OPTIONS are available - YOUR CHOICE of either eBay standard envelope service (ESE) which is cheaper with slower delivery or USPS Ground Advantage (more costly for single cards but much faster delivery).

Both services include insurance but USPS Ground Advantage is considerably quicker, with fewer limitations. _______________________ Important: Shipping Information Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low. Our primary objective is to sell cards and other things of interest to baseball hobbyists - not make money by overcharging on shipping. If you ever believe you are being overcharged on shipping, please email us and we will double-check the facts of the matter. Thank you! U.S. residents: We combine multiple items purchased so you pay only the shipping on the heaviest item - all other items ship free of charge. (An exception would be if an item must be sent via media/book rate.) All Other Countries: Email us first. Many listings indicate shipment to U.S. or U.S. & Canada only, but we actually ship worldwide. To receive your combined shipping, please wait for us to send you a combined invoice. The eBay checkout system usually displays an incorrect shipping charge. (It is normally too high.) Please do not pay for each item separately; if you pay separately, there is no shipping discount. We pack your order carefully - sandwiching cards between cardboard and utilizing boxes, bubble wrap, etc., as necessary - to ensure your items arrive in the condition you expect. Items are shipped the next business day. We ship 5 - usually 6 - days each week. Payment should be made within 7 days after invoice has been received.
