Thanks Mark. Still holding out for more info.

If I were to submit to SGC does anybody know what I would classify these as?

Dave,

Drop Brian Dwyer an email: bdwyer@sgccard.com. Ask him to have a look at this thread. Then ask him how to word the submission. He'll take care of you.

Dave:

By virtue of the fact that there is no advertiser on the cards I suspect they were a team issue. I have seen similar sets and individual cards/photos from back in the day.

I am still very interested if you decide to move any of the cards but if not I hope that you are able to get the definitive information you are looking for.

Heard back from Brian with a very nice response regarding grading. They would label them 1951 Hartford Chiefs and possibly put in the designation "Team Issue".

They are classified as over-sized so they would cost 20 bucks apiece to grade.

They are in real nice shape and I imagine they would grade out in the 7, 8 and possibly a couple in the 9 range. However I'm still not sure that would justify the cost on these.

Anybody want to convince me otherwise?

Hello Dave,

What a great find for those of us who love vintage minor league "cards." And especially those of us who are Braves' fans of the era.

I have not seen these before, and have no information about the completeness of the group you posted.

Can I have your permission to feature them in my Standard Catalog Update column on my blog and in SCD? Perhaps we'll get reports from other collectors if there are any others to be found.
