Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Just how rare are these cards? I've never seen one for sale and need several for my player set.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home, I would be arrested. So, I go to baseball games and fit right in.

Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>Jay,<br />As regionals go, there are few that are tougher than these. As a long-time Phillies collector, I have seen a few for sale here and there. I actually own one Phillie from this set and paid dearly for it several years ago. I have not seen one for sale on ebay in several years. They do pop up in some of the higher end auctions every now and then. <br /><br />Tougher than Sealtest and Lummis...not as tough as Felin's Franks.<br /><br />Joshua

Posted By: <b>Eric</b><p>Someone auctioned off a good dozen to 15 singles about 5-6 years ago on Ebay. I'm glad I snagged one because I haven't seen a single one since. To make you gag a little, I paid in the neighborhood of $20 for it...and it's in great shape.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Only recently picked one up...and it looks factory miscut (could be trimmed). I have only seen a few for sale and missed out on the group Eric is speaking of....regards<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1146599644.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Jim Manos</b><p>Had a Chapman on the forum for a month Leon bought it. Top was cut weird. I have had a handful. They are very tough, but seem to pop up in the midwest. I will keep this post and if I find any I will let you know. <br /><br />Didn't see Leon's post but that is the one...

Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>Midwest is odd since the store was located in the heart of Philadelphia (as it says on the back of the cards).<br /><br />Leon, many of them look handcut and probably were as it really was just a father and son store in Philly. <br /><br />I fogot that Jim had one for sale (probably because it was an Athletic and not a Phillie).<br /><br />I will gladly buy your Father and Son's Shoes Phillies for $40 a card! That is a 100% profit for you!<br /><br />Joshua

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>There are several players that make their only appearance on a card in this set, so I am interested in those players.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people.
