This set of three collectible cards features iconic baseball-themed artwork originally published in The Saturday Evening Post, highlighting the work of Norman Rockwell. Each card has a numbered edition marking "271 OF 500" and showcases detailed vintage illustrations centered around baseball imagery.
The first card displays the cover from the September 4, 1948 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. It features a young baseball player in a Chicago uniform standing in the dugout, likely the catcher, with an expression of anxiety or nervousness. Behind him, teammates sit or slump on the bench, some with heads in hands, while an animated crowd watches the game. Norman Rockwell’s signature is visible, reinforcing the authenticity and artistic heritage of the piece.
The second card portrays the April 23, 1949 issue cover of The Saturday Evening Post. Three men dressed in black stand centered, with one holding a baseball catcher's mitt and mask. In the background, a baseball player in white with a glove is among the field's action. Bold cover text teases articles including "What of Our Future?" by Bernard M. Baruch and "Why Cops Turn Crooked" by David G. Witte.
The third card shows a classic baseball scene from another Saturday Evening Post cover dated July 3, 1939. The illustration humorously depicts a playful pose with two men, one carrying the other on his back, both dressed in vintage baseball attire. The text overlay includes "100th Year of Baseball," marking a centennial theme, and mentions the beginning of "Escape," a novel described as "A Novel of Today's Reign of Terror."
These cards collectively celebrate baseball heritage through Norman Rockwell’s illustrative mastery and The Saturday Evening Post’s historic covers, each piece numbered to mark limited edition collectible status by TekTel Marketing Inc.
