Cliff, great ones - especially the one of Sauer (my guy). Who was the SS (back shown)? I gather it was Smalley?
Also are you familiar with the 51 WBKB "Lucky Fan" ones? I just picked up the Sauer from it.

Yes, that is the back of the Smalley. I was aware of the 1951 Cubs Lucky Fan photos but I never owned one, a couple of years ago a seller put a bunch on eBay at a pretty high price so I didn't get any although I would have jumped on the Chuck Connors if it wasn't already sold. The ones on eBay right now are very reasonably priced, I bought the Roy Smalley just to have at least one.

Both of these are low pop, though you can find them around. The difficulty with the Irvindale set is when they get cut apart. They come in two pairs of two, four total cards. Like Bazooka, the border needs to be there so making singles invalidates one of the cards from being gradeable.

For the Ashland set, since it was a contest, some cards are impossible to find. One is truly one of one (Mahoney, grand prize, none graded), and another is very rare (Mazeroski, 2nd prize?, none graded).

I still need Ron Santo . One came up a couple of years ago for $250 and like an idiot I didn't buy it immediately.

1948 PC797 Gunther Beer postcards. I have only this one. Anyone have any others to show (and to excite Larry S.)?
