Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I know those are rare, but are they really rarer than say 1951-52 Sioux City Soos team issued cards? I'm sure they are in much higher demand, but how often do the 49 Bowman PCL cards show up?

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>49 Bowman PCL are really tough, but I bet there is some obscure regional that is even tougher. I'm just not sure which one, though.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>In 1956 the Lincoln Chiefs put out a card of Dick Stuart which is the only card they ever issued and I know of only 6 cards...2 belong to me, 1 belongs to whoever notified SCD of its existence and I think Mark B has 3(?) of them which all came from Stuart's estate.<br /><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Nebraska%20Baseball%20Memorabila/DickStuartCardSmall.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Only 36 cards.....but, if you try to put it together card by card.....it will take you many, many years.<br />Particularly if you are looking for factory-cut cards. Here is a typical example of a hand-cut PCL card.<br /><br />TED Z <br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/astorey.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Your response is perfectly acceptable Mark, and glad you made it over to the new forum. I'm sure a lot of people here would love to see some of your minor league cards. I can't remember who it was, but a few years ago someone was interested in purchasing one of my Stuart cards, but I was holding the extra in case I run into another Lincoln collector with something to trade..hopefully you'll get something you need out of one of your Stuart cards.

Posted By: <b>Chad</b><p>There are a lot of teams they made cards for that I've never seen. I've seen plenty of Sioux City, but Miami, San Diego etc. are like ghosts. <br /><br />--Chad

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>What issue is that Stengel card? How tough is it to come by?
|
Minor League Cards -How tough are they?
Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>The Stengel is a Signal Oil, from 1948 or 1949 (I forget which). Lombardi and Billy Martin are also in the set. They pop up occasionally on ebay. I haven't followed them closely, but I think you shouldn't have difficulty finding Stengel for under a hundred dollars. But it could take a few months.

Minor League Cards -How tough are they?
Posted By: <b>mark</b><p>Dan, the Stengel is from the beautiful 1948 Signal Oil set of 24 Oakland Oaks. I dont currently have a dupe but shouldn't be too hard to locate a nice copy. If you want I will see what I can find out here. A couple of shows coming up. Mark
