Any opinions ??
I always thought maybe that 4 players ( Houtteman, Ginsberg, Friend and Wright) were pulled from the set after the June 15th , 1953 trade. Three others only played briefly ( Carswell from 4/17 to 5/30, Jordan ( 4/16 to 5/10 and Sullivan last game was 5/16.
Wonder who sent in the most cards and how many ???? Somebody out there went to the World Series !

I always wondered the same. Hoeft is also listed as a scarcity. Houtteman was listed as being disproportionately more rare than the other 3 in the trade for some reason. The original VCBC article (Spring 2003) also speculates on the 3 "winners" watching the World Series and if they ate Stahl-Meyer or Glendale Meat hot dogs. Interesting stuff for an oddball set.
