Default Re: 1928 Star Player Candy Cards

Posted By: David Smith

Hello,

Thank you to everyone who (so far) has shared their pictures of their SPC cards.

Ok, the info I have on the cards origin (not much).

I bought the cards at a paper show about 10 years ago. The dealer said his father had collected them when he was a kid. The cards came from a Mid-Western state (I forget the actual city name-too bad) and so because of the rarity, I am assuming these are a regional issue. The dealer did not know (or I did not ask) how the cards were issued.

As I said earlier, I think there was a Ruth and Gehrig but they were gone by the time I returned to his table. The dealer did not have any football players and I have never seen any SPC football cards.

I will post a scan of all 16 cards I own shortly.

Thanks again for sharing and I hope I have added some knowledge to the hobby.

David
