COMMENTS / CONDITION: Offered is an approximately 3-1/2"x5-1/2" real photo postcard of Jim Turner, pictured in his Boston Bees uniform circa 1937. The original photo was taken by George Burke in 1937, but this card was produced some time later (no earlier than the 1950's judging by the standard Kodak back). Comes from a large collection of such postcards that we will be listing over the coming months, all having standard postcard backs but being postally unused. Wear on these, if any, is mostly confined to minor corner and edge wear, but see scans for further details including condition. We do not deal in stock images or modern reprints, and all scans shown are of the actual item being sold. If you have any questions about a particular piece, please ask before the auction ends.

BIO: James Riley Turner (Milkman Jim) was born in 903 in Antioch, TN and died in 998 in Nashville, TN. He played major league baseball from 937 to 945 as pitcher for the Boston Braves, Cincinnati Reds, and the New York Yankees, appeared in the 940 and 942 World Series, and was selected in 938 as an All-Star. Because he worked for his family's dairy farm in the offseason, he was known as "Milkman Jim" to his fans.
