Has there ever been a more maligned issue than this? IMO, it's justly earned. Yet, this is a mangy stray dog I just can't turn away. I can't figure out how mine got so abused, who'd handle these? It's a good thing they put the player names on the cards or who could tell who's who? But what a checklist! High concentration of future HOFers and contemporary stars (Hey, how did Nippy Jones sneak in there?) Here's 4 of my 1949 post-war, but post your wartime too. How many other sets can you say "wartime" about? This may be your only chance to post these monstrosities -- jump on it! Photoprints series very welcome if you got them. |

Hey yesiree thar Paul -- them thar post-war MPs are like manna from heaven. Hey here's me own wartime ones you referred to. Took me a while to root them out of the hogslop. Had to yank the Medwick outta Bessie's mouth. Check out the Mize -- hit the ball so dang hard that the whole place was vibratin'. You wait, you built this thread -- they will come. |

To me, this is the set which bridges the gap of the war years. As such it is historically significant. |

I"ll concede E91c's, but they are a whole lot worse than E91A's. |

Unfortunately, they were the last in the fugly series, which started with the 20s strip cards, were picked up in the mid-30s with the R337 Eclipse, and followed in the mid-40s with these MP&Co's. Thats almost three decades of fugly. Clearly a niche collection. |
