Brian H (misunderestimated)I would also point out that when I bought the two in the scan above from Lew Lipset back when he had a mail order catalogue (I'll guess about 10 or 11 years ago) it was as "UNC Koestler Bread" cards that had been produced/distributed in honor of the first Yankees-Giants World Series showdown.
I might add that the cards' scarcity and the fact that they were as yet uncatalogued factor meant virtually nothing to me at the time --- I just wanted cards of HOFers Hoyt and Huggins (he had several others from both the Yankees and Giants available). Huggins I especially wanted because it pictured him as the Yankee's manager which was how I wanted him in my fledgling HOF set.. Lew did not have them priced especially high (for the time) and there was not alot of hype involved in the brief description of the set; they were simply in the catalogue, described and priced.
