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?

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.

Hey- the clock needs to be fixed. It says 10:50 AM. Just a first day glitch.

but the 1972 Puerto Rican winter league set is pretty tough, and has some really key players included, including Schmidt's first card, Satchell Paige and some other Negro League HOFers.

The 1949-51 Hages Dairy PCL cards are very tough and the checklists in SCD aren't complete.

My Milwaukee Brewers Grand Studio postcards are pretty darn tough. The '44 set has the Stengel, which I've only seen once.

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.

Only 36 cards.....but, if you try to put it together card by card.....it will take you many, many years.
Particularly if you are looking for factory-cut cards. Here is a typical example of a hand-cut PCL card.

Omaha Cardinals are tough to find. Didn't find a single one at the National. Do you guys recognize Robert?

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.

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.

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.

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

Some of the early to mid '70s issues aren't exactly easy to find.
