Serious amount of Detroit Red Wings JD McCarthy postcards ranging from the late-1950s to early-1980s, with 85 colored cards from the 1970s, apply named "Blank Backs", and 371 B&W cards with the McCarthy address and zip code printed on the backs. Included in the blank-backed colored cards from the 1970s are such players as Mickey Redmond, Alex Delvecchio, Marcel Dionne, Red Berenson, Gary Bergman, Guy Charron and so many more. Many of these cards include duplicates and have the players' names handwritten on their backs, and some have the names printed on the fronts. The 371 B&W postcards have the names printed on the fronts and include Gordie Howe, Rogie Vachon, Jim Schoenfeld, Errol Thompson, Mike Foligno, Terry Harper, and so many more. Please see our website for more details. Even though the colored McCarthy postcards are all blank backs, there are two variations – about 23 of them have the player’s name printed on the front bottom, with several in duplicate. No handwriting is found on this type. The 60-plus other colored cards are without the printed names, and these have handwritten names on their backs. Duplicates are also found in this group as well. The B&W cards, totaling approximately 371, are from the “Zip Code Back” series and also have duplicates. All cards show slightly worn edges and some faint age yellowing on the perimeters. Several also have some water damage on their backs to mention.
