Champions make the scene with this 1959 Los Angeles Dodgers "Mirro-Krome" postcards complete set of (12/12). Though the Dodgers won only a single World Series while they were located in Brooklyn, their fortunes quickly turned after relocating to the West Coast in 1958, winning three World Series championships during their first eight years in Los Angeles. The first of these triumphs came in 1959 at the expense of the "Go-Go" White Sox, and this tough regional postcard series is a great way to remember the star players that made it happen. Produced by the H.S. Crocker Co. for the Dodgers, these team-issued postcards are formatted with quality photos taken during warm-ups at the team's 1958-1961 residence, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Includes Hall of Famers: Sandy Koufax (EX), Don Drysdale (VG-EX), Duke Snider (VG-EX), and Gil Hodges (EX). Balance are: Carl Furillo, Jim Gilliam, Clem Labine, Norm Larker, Charlie Neal, Johnny Podres, John Roseboro and Don Zimmer (average EX to EX-MT).
