New Set? Aero Service cards
 
Has anyone heard of Aero Service cards? Here is a link to an ebay auction that just ended for a Joe Garagiola: https://www.ebay.com/itm/405277759657. (I was the very disappointed and frustrated underbidder). The card looks identical to a 1949 Schumacher Service Station card, but the back has an ad for Aero Service rather than Schumacher.

I wonder if the Aero and Schumacher cards were made by a single publisher, who marketed them to service stations with customized advertising on the back. Kind of like Felix Mendelsohn's M101-4/5 cards or 1970s MSA discs. Could there be a third back in addition to Aero and Schumacher?

That is a cool card and haven't seen another. Wish I would have seen it. I agree, it does look like a Shumacher card. It's also interesting where the placement of the erasure is on the back.

The DiMaggio from this set has surfaced and is part of the newest Love of the Game auction.

It will be interesting to see where it goes. For Dimaggio collectors it's almost a holy grail but will the price reflect it?

What did the Joe G. card go for last year?

My recollection is that the Joe Garagiola sold for just under $300.

If that is the case, you would think it should have gone for more. I would have paid more for it!

I believe the Garagiola sold just over $500. I think it was something like $521 or $523.

One of the problems with it was the set was completely unknown, so seeing the listing was basically impossible. How Paul saw it is a miracle. Definitely sold for way under what it would've if people had the set as a saved search.
