Sawyer Biscuits Cabinets of 1938

[Leon]

Some players back in the day had great nicknames. Here are two from a relatively obscure set, Sawyer Biscuit, along with some associated items.....The players are Dizzy Dean & Porkchops Whitehead.

Those are cool, thanks for sharing. If you read the letter, you see that you can redeem the coupon and 10 cents for a picture of a Cubs or Sox player or one of Bob or Babs (I assume the owners). I wonder how many kids got pictures of Bob instead of Dizzy Dean?

Well if "Babs" happened to be Barbara Stanwyck I know which picture I would have been asking for.

I just realized that Bob Elson was the radio guy for the Cubs and White Sox, so getting his picture might have been reasonable. I wonder who Babs is and if any of her cards from this set survive?

Always like the companion pieces, Good Stuff!
