Jim VBI have long pursued 4 postcards from an obscure set. (I apologize to all who have seen these, many times before.)
In 1932 the N.Y. Giants issued a Schedule postcard. It was distributed by mail. You had to write in, send a SASE, and ask for your favorite player. They made cards of at least 22 players. The original cards were on heavy cardboard stock. The Hubbell card was also a period reprint, on much thinner stock, with the back inverted. This Hubbell is very common and I have several. I also have 18 of the original 22. In 2005, REA auctioned off another 18 card lot (plus another 2nd print Hubbell). I wasn't paying attention and did not get it. That lot had the 4 I need, and I have 4 missing from that lot. Lew Lipsett also has a collection of (I think he said) 16-18. He also has the 4 I need, but isn't interested in selling.
If anyone ever stumbles across these, I need Ethan Allen, Herman Bell, Fran Healey, and Sam Leslie.
