A Colorful Commemorative Baseball Card issued by the Carl Aldana family in 2022 DINO RESTELLI ~ 1953-1955 Portland Beavers (PCL) Very Limited Edition FIRST PRINTING of just 50 cards Remember the old Pacific Coast League trading cards - those colorful cards with rounded corners produced by Mother's Cookies back in 1952-53. Well, the Carl Aldana family has done it once again! The late Carl Aldana followed up his attractive 47-card 1950 Sommer & Kaufmann San Francisco Seals set, colorful 73 card set of Seals from the World War II era and 3-card DiMaggio brothers set with many more selected singles. This card is among the latest cards produced by Carl's family. First Printing This is a first printing offer. Just 50 cards were printed in total. If a subsequent printing is made, there will be distinguishing characteristic(s) so this First Printing will remain special. The card measures 2-1/4" by 3-1/2" - nearly identical to the early 1950s Mother's Cookies cards which were 1/16" narrower at 2-3/16" by 3-1/2". It is unnumbered and features a period advertisement for Mother's Cookies printed on the reverse side. Like other Carl Aldana commemorative cards, this one looks magnificent mounted in standard 9-pocket collector pages.
