davidcyclebackThe cards are neither rare, nor common. They aren't hard to find in better condition. They aren't terribly popular, but are notable as being one of the few during WWII sets as the homeland was conserving material for the war effort. That last bit gives them an interesting historical story when the owner shows them to friends or family. Some think they're ugly, but I compare them to period comic book art.
If you pick up 3 1940s Hall of Famers for $10, I don't think there should be anything to complain about.
