Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>In 1941, Ballantine Beer produced a set of coasters...I always thought these were rather interesting and rarely seen...in the past few months, I managed to buy a handful and as I was posting a scan today, I noticed that there is a variation that is not listed...check the scans...<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/Wite3/lastscan.jpg"> <br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/Wite3/ballantine.jpg"> <br /><br />There are two different versions of this coaster (at least)...As another aside the 2005 SCD lists one of the Coasters as picturing Phillies but it really pictures Pirates.<br /><br />Bob, I know 2006 is already in the works...maybe 2007.<br /><br />-Joshua

Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>Thanks, Joshua, for the pix of the Ballentine variations. We made the Phillies to Pirates correction earlier, but I should be able to get in a few words about the variations into the 2006 book.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Bob, if you're interested I have a 1956 Dick Stuart minor league card that is uncataloged. I believe it was given away at a Lincoln Chiefs game in 1956 (the year he hit 66 homeruns).<br /><br />It can be seen here:<br /><br /><a href="http://marian.creighton.edu/~besser/baseball/lincoln1956.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://marian.creighton.edu/~besser/baseball/lincoln1956.html</a>

Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>Dan, the card is in the SCD - back of the book in the Minor League section (under 1956 Mutual Savings).

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Thanks Glen. Are there any other cards listed besides the Stuart? I think it might be time for me to update my SCD.
