Jeff, how rare are these? Unless I'm misreading, we only have about 5 examples of each in PSA holders?

Rare! Many of the five graded sets out there came from the same Browns collector who had multiple sets that he sold off. My bet is there's at least that many sets raw / in uncut sheets but probably not more than a total pop of 15-20 out there for each card.

Thanks Jeff.

Just seeing if anyone picked up any nice AAFC items from the 2015 National.
Now 5 of these Browns '46 sets have now been graded/authenticated by PSA?

Am I crazy that every one of these has been graded/authenticated as a complete set? I can't imagine that after all these years not a single/separate card has been graded. Always all 8 at a time.

Still a mystery set. Not a lot of information out there.

Didn't get them at the National but recently snagged a few of the Sohio Cleveland Browns premiums from 1949.





Here's my list of AAFC football cards/premiums. There isn't a lot out there from the AAFC ... what else is on your list? We should start a thread on AAFC items. I have some vintage photos as well.

1946 Sears Browns
1948 Colts Matchbooks
1949 Silbers Bakery Colts
1949 Sohio Browns premiums

I've got the Motley from that set Jeff

Silbers is definitely that set that seems soooo elusive

Just bumping this from last year. I picked up a nice Type 1? '46 Gatski press photo. First one I've been able to get from the '46 Browns Sears set of 8. This set still fascinates me. Haven't seen any become available in years. Zero. The Yonakor card still puzzles me.

^^ Thanks for sharing! That card looks great.
