Posted By: <b>ErikV</b><p> Maybe it's just me, but I don't see many of the Lefty Grove cards readily available. <br /> Perhaps the experts on the board can verify.<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1185975396.JPG">

Posted By: <b>P SPAETH</b><p>I wouldn't characterize any of these cards as "readily available" but that said I don't think the Grove is especially difficult.

Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>My start on the set. (I think this whole set is relatively scarce.)<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb189/jvb6034/USCaramel2.gif"><br /><br /><img src="http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb189/jvb6034/USCaramel.gif">

Posted By: <b>paulstratton</b><p>The only one that I have ever owned was a Bobby Jones. In a total 420 moment I sold it for some odd reason. It might be the only thing I have ever regretted selling, it still makes me sick thinking about it.

Posted By: <b>Brad Green</b><p><br />Since the front of the Lefty Grove card has already been shown, and everyone else is only showing the front of U.S. Caramels, I thought I'd show the back of the Grove U.S. Caramel.<br /><br />It never gets old seeing "Lonaconing, MD" written on the back of Lefty's cards. Lonaconing, MD is a small town of about 1000 people. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that my hometown (also Lonaconing, MD) would have produced a Hall of Fame pitcher. And what's more, never would I have thought that he would be my cousin!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.bandkgreen.net/lefty_grove/1932_uscaramel_back.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Brad Green</b><p><br />Erik:<br /><br />To answer your question about Lefty Grove U.S. Caramels... When eBay first came onto the seen, about 1 or 2 Grove Caramels would show up every year. But I must say that over the past several years, I haven't seen too many. I have seen probably 1 or 2 in the past 3 or 4 years on eBay.<br /><br />Brad<br />

Posted By: <b>John Kalafarski</b><p> I've been looking for a nice Grove caramel for quite a time. The US Caramels come up, but no Lefty!

Posted By: <b>P Spaeth</b><p>The pop report, to the extent that is an accurate barometer, shows about an average number of Groves relative to the rest of the set.
