PC773 Detroit Tigers Postcards Overview

pc773-1-topping-co-tiger-stars-cobb

The PC773 series of postcards sets includes various members of the Detroit Tigers.

There are four distinct PC773 sets that all featured the Tigers:

PC773-1 Topping & Company
PC773-2 H.M. Taylor Company
PC773-3 Wolverine News
PC773-4 Detroit Free Press

Black and white photos are on the fronts and the backs include the area for the sender to write his/her message and the recipient address. Only the 773-1 set included any color and the bright yellow around the player image and top/bottom borders with the ‘Tiger Stars” title makes it easily stand out from the other issues.

PC773-2 and PC773-4 feature black and white photos with white borders. PC773-3 also has black and white photos but is a full-bleed issue without borders. Because the sets only feature members of the Tigers and are within the same time period, many players appear in multiple sets.

Almost all of the postcards have a vertical layout. However, a few in the PC773-2 and PC773-3 subsets were printed horizontally.

Old Cardboard has pictures of all of the postcards in the set.
