I have no doubt that these black and white cards were to be the third color card series, and with Casey Stengel and, yes, Gene Woodling, who at this time was a star, in this set, it's hard not to think so. Then there's Larry Jansen, Jim Konstanty, Hoyt Wilhelm, Ralph Branca, and many others who I always thought strange that they were not in the color set. I believe the story that Bowman put all their eggs into the color cards basket, and when the second, high-numbered series didn't sell well, they had no choice but to put out the so-called third series separately, in a different wrapper, in less expensive black and white.
