Houtteman was traded by the Tigers in June of 1953. I think it had more to do with that than with intentionally making it rare.

John: Any estimates of how many complete sets exist ?

Of the '53 Glendale Meats collector's I have communicated with, only 1 of us had completed the set. He had picked up the rare 4 early on and snagged the rest over the ensuing years in the pre-internet days.
Following is the VCBC article on Glendale Meats, from VCBC #36, Spring 2003. Last edited by Zach Wheat; 07-08-2022 at 12:16 PM. |

Since this thread was created a number of Ginsberg's have popped up. I was able to acquire one, which is the last of the tough 4 (Houtteman, Wight, Ginsberg and Friend) to complete the set. It is incredibly tough to find nicely graded cards
