For fans bleeding Dodger Blue, here’s a rare chance to pick up a huge chunk of vintage color postcards from one of the most beloved franchises in baseball history. Starting with the club’s second year on the West Coast after unceremoniously slinking out of the Borough of Brooklyn after the 1957 season, the offered collection is in outstanding overall condition and features 20 Hall of Famers and most of the legendary figures who wore the Dodger Blue over a 20-year span.
