Came across a few of these late 1980s Dodgers Smokey bear Postcards. Unable to find info in reference books or anywhere else. Any idea on value? Thank you

The Fresno Hot Stove Gala is held every year as a fundraiser. 2015 was the 54th annual, assuming they held one every year (hence the word annual) that would make the 38th annual in 1999. Perhaps these were two of the guests? The design is similar to the 1988 Smokey the Bear SGA sheet. Have a scan of the back?

They don't look like they would have much value to me.

A set of these just hit eBay with a BIN of $50. Here is the set as they have it listed:

Smokey Bear
Reggie Jackson
Steve Sax
Dave Stewart
Wally Joyner
Rex Hudler
Rick Honeycutt
Rudy May
Mike Aldrete
Jim Wohlford
Chris Codiroli
Dave Henderson
Franklin Stubbs
Bill Krueger
Ron Robinson
Bob Melvin
Don Larsen
Tom Niedenfuer

The 5th Annual dinner was referenced in the 1954 Fresno Bee, which would put the 38th in 1987, which fits perfectly with the design and the teams for each player. If the 54th was in 2015, then they skipped some 12 years or so. If anyone is interested in going splits, I could really use that Hendu (but not for $50).

Anyone at all, interested in splitting the cost of this set?

Very similar to a set of Angels cards I have. They were circa 1986-1987. Can't remember exactly. I know for certain Don Sutton was in the set.

There was also a perforated set of various big league players...I remember for sure Jose Canseco and Oil Can Boyd were in it.

All were national Forrest service sponsored and featured smokey the bear.

Pretty sure value is minimal as is the case with most oversized cards.
