Hello..
Thought I would post that an article I wrote on regional food and minor league vintage cards is published in the SCD magazine last week.... The article is about some rare regional food cards I have found. I also write about vintage regional food cards in general and how hard it is becoming to find them..

anytway... thought I would post so those who are interested can look for it..

Sounds interesting. I'll try to pick up a copy. Are there some PCL food issues covered in your article as well? I just grabbed an interesting regional food card on Ebay this week. Not pre-war, but still pretty neat:

1957 BAR-S Meats Membership card featuring Jeff Heath (Seattle Rainiers PCL announcer & former Major Leaguer)

Thats a nice pick up Adam....
The article shows "MANY" regional cards and talks in general about regional and minor league cards...The first part of the article highlights some one of a kind cards I have found such as a 1956 PARKHURST card??..This is a forgotten SET in canada..most people know that there were 100 cards in the 1952 Parkhurst set but in 1956 PArkhurst also put out a baseball set that no one knows about.. the article talks about some other rare regional cards I have found from some collectors in Canada..

PS: I have just completed BOTH 1959/1960 DARIGOLD farms sets(-3) and I am writing a very detailed article about them... I actually found the person in spokane that GLUED the cards to the milk cartons... this article will go into DEPTH of how the cards were made and WHY darigold made them... also, it talks about the types of darigolds cards found today with estimates of total cards in the world today based on the number of milk cartons produced per week in 1959 and 1960

Very nice article! Pictures of lots of regional issues, some so obscure that few of us have probably ever seen them. Hope the rest of you get a chance to read it.
