Unfortunately I cannot recall the name of this set, and don't want to get all clever and look it up online, but it basically uses the same photos and text/format as the 1936 S & S Game cards, just without all that unnecessary extra cardboard on the sides. Is "Home Run" part of its set name?

What set is the Groh from? I've always wanted one of those but can't remember the set name.

Thanks,

Andrew, I'm not aware that this set has been identified.

Last two entries which differ notably in size.

1939 Coplay Foto-Fun. You don't find these often in this "undeveloped" state.

I’ve got over 80 of the negatives. Here are a few:

Here is my card that I have never been able to figure out. It's on card stock and appears that it was inserted in something where it was folded 4 times if you look closely at the back. Heck, it's even autographed by Walker Cooper. Cooper played for the NY Giants from 46-49, so I'm guessing it's during that period. Any thoughts are appreciated.

These don't come up very often.

[raulus]

It’s a bit gigantic, but you don’t see this 52 Star Cal Decals Mays piece very often.

Never been able to identify these.. postcard sized blank back.

The 1957 Swift Meats set amuses me as it cut up ballplayers into parts, a step just short of turning them into sausage or deli meats. Surviving assembled players like my #5 Ed Bailey are tough to come by.

Those Swift cards have always creeped me out.

Here is a pair of Canadian Minor League cards that picture Cuban born players. The first is a 1952 Laval Dairy card of Juan Prats and the second is a 1959 O'Keefe Ale Montreal Royals Freddy Rodriguez. I love vintage minor league cards.
