Help with a 1963 minor league baseball card set
 
Hi... I'm hoping someone can provide some information about a 1963 minor league baseball card set.I'm trying to find out if there was maybe an oddball set issued for the 1963 Bluefield Orioles of the Appalachian League.
Any information about if there were cards made for them would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ... edtiques

There was never such a set cataloged in the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards as long as I was involved in the book (1981-2011) and I did all of the vintage minor league listings.

That's not to say such an issue doesn't exist . . . just that it was never reported in nearly 50 years.

Do you have an image of such a card?

Thanks for your response.My daughter's Father in law pitched for the Bluefield Orioles in 1963 and blew his arm out,which ended his baseball career.She's looking for his card,if there is one.She said she's seen a photo copy of it in a scrapbook,but doesn't remember the details of who made it.
I've asked her to send me a copy of it so that I know what to look for.I'm not sure what she saw.I tried to look it up in my Standard Catalog,and as you know,there was nothing listed there.
I don't know if she's mistaken or if she saw a copy of a real card or a prototype.Not finding it the the catalog makes me suspicious that she's mistaken.I wish I had more information for you,but I don't.I just thought I'd ask the people here if they knew of a set for that year.
