Being a regional Boston issue explains the rarity of the Ivy Andrews card. What better way to induce locals to keep buying packs than to exclude a card of one of the Boston players?
George C. Millers are my single favorite baseball card set. The pastel color tones are beautiful, the players significant, and the look so well captures the style of Depression-era cards. The genuine scarcity of the cards, especially in excellent or better condition, only adds to the appeal.
