1928 Star Player Candy -- Gehrig??

[Archive]

Posted By: Lyman

Greetings. We are in the final stages of preparing an article about the Star Player Candy sets (1928 and 1929) in the next issue of Old Cardboard magazine and need your help. We have card images (and plan to run a full gallery) of 72 of the 73 cards checklisted for the 1928 set (including the Buddy Myer card only recently discovered by the hobby).

However, we are missing an image for the card of one player -- Lou Gehrig. If anyone can supply an image of the Gehrig card from the 1928 SPC set it would be much appreciated. If not an image, we would very much like to hear from anyone who has seen the card and can confirm the existance of the Gehrig card. Note that this is the blank-backed Gehrig card from the 1928 set and not Gehrig's 1929 SPC card which has a printed back. Any input would be very helpful.

We would also like to hear from anyone with information about the sponsor (Star Player Candy) of the card set or how the set was distributed.

Please send input to me at editor@oldcardboard.com or by clicking on the email link with this post. Thanks again for all input.
