Egan's Handbook To US Early Candy & Gum Baseball Isssues - 1969

[Leon]

I was looking up D355 Niagara Baking checklisted cards for another board member, in the "Egan Handbook to US Early Candy & Gum Baseball Issues", 1969, and in doing that I figure I will go ahead and post the few pages here for others to see too. As we all know, the list of D355 Niagara Baking stamped cards should parallel the E101 set. That is why they are included in this book. (and it's also a type I haven't acquired :()
These pages are from a personal copy from Egan to Buck Barker, and from Barkers collection of peridicals (I assume). It has many of the mailed letters Egan sent Buck concerning the listing and cataloging of baseball cards. And first is a letter to Buck, from Egan, 2-3 yrs before the book was put out.

great stuff Leon...interesting that the dots miller fielding card(of which I have interest in) is listed with d355...but not e102...which is known but tougher than other e102.

So I have to assume there is a set of niagara baking cards out there somewhere!!!!!!

He counted 6 of the D355. I have seen one in the hobby and 4 (that got away) outside of the hobby. There has to be more.
