David SmithHello,
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
