Posted By: <b>Cobby33</b><p>Hi All-<br /><br />I just discovered a group of B&W cards of Oakland Oaks players. They appear to be from the 1940's and have 2 different backs: Remar Baking Co. and Smiths (a clothing store). Sorry, no scans.<br /><br />I don't have my SCD catalog handy (assuming they're even in there). Does anyone know what these are and whether they're at all unique?<br /><br />Thanks in advance!<br /><br />Edited to add: I just checked eBay (duh) and there are a similar bunch on there for about $10/ea.

Posted By: <b>Chad</b><p>I love the 49 set. It has Charlie Dressen, George Kelly (the HOFer), Billy Martin, Jackie Jensen and three important Negro League players--Artie Wilson, Alonso Perry and Parnell Woods. It also happens to be Parnell Woods' only known card. For an inexpensive set, it's good stuff.<br /><br />--Chad

Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>They are in the back of the SCD in the minor league section. Here's more info. from the Old Cardboard site: <a href="http://www.oldcardboard.com/o/clothing/47smiths/47smiths.asp?cardsetID=1103" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldcardboard.com/o/clothing/47smiths/47smiths.asp?cardsetID=1103</a>
