Posted By: <b>petecld</b><p>Sorry for not putting this in the usual thread but this isn't for me. <BR><BR>A relative is looking for cards of Cy Block (Cubs, 1940s). The only ones known are the collector sets issued in 1976 & 1977 and I believe are referred to as the "1942 PlayBall"and "1943 Playball" sets.<BR><BR>If you have one or know someone willing to part with one please email me. If you have any other type of item with Cy Block I'd love to hear about it.<BR><BR><BR><BR>

As I'm sure the OP is aware, at least up until the late 1990's, Cy used to send out his own homemade card. The design resembled the 1985 Topps issue.

Eight years for a reply has to be some kind of Net54 record, right?

And the archive guy has made more than 58,000 posts? You'd think he'd be too busy fending off lawsuits to have time to post that often.

The Net54 version of a message in a bottle.

Well, 8 years and the response didn't even answer the quesion--good stuff!
Block is actually found in the V362 Big League Stars set made by World Wide Gum. He is #9. If a thread this old is gonna be resurrected it may as well have an answer in it!:D

Not to worry. Archive is a conglomerate. They have an entire staff devoted to internal lawsuits. Sort of like Coke v. Coke Zero.

I have a cy block card in fair condition I would be willing to sell.

Good one.
Also, I now know the meaning of Rob D's post#5. Wouldn't have gotten that one if I had read this back in aught-10.

Another quirky fact about this thread:
The somewhat delayed response to the OP was the one and only post ever left by that member. Maybe he's waiting eight years for a reply before posting again?
What a remarkably patient guy.
