Just how rare are these cards? I've never seen one for sale and need several for my player set.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home, I would be arrested. So, I go to baseball games and fit right in.

Jay,
As regionals go, there are few that are tougher than these. As a long-time Phillies collector, I have seen a few for sale here and there. I actually own one Phillie from this set and paid dearly for it several years ago. I have not seen one for sale on ebay in several years. They do pop up in some of the higher end auctions every now and then.

Tougher than Sealtest and Lummis...not as tough as Felin's Franks.

Someone auctioned off a good dozen to 15 singles about 5-6 years ago on Ebay. I'm glad I snagged one because I haven't seen a single one since. To make you gag a little, I paid in the neighborhood of $20 for it...and it's in great shape.

Only recently picked one up...and it looks factory miscut (could be trimmed). I have only seen a few for sale and missed out on the group Eric is speaking of....regards

Had a Chapman on the forum for a month Leon bought it. Top was cut weird. I have had a handful. They are very tough, but seem to pop up in the midwest. I will keep this post and if I find any I will let you know.

Didn't see Leon's post but that is the one...

Midwest is odd since the store was located in the heart of Philadelphia (as it says on the back of the cards).

Leon, many of them look handcut and probably were as it really was just a father and son store in Philly.

I fogot that Jim had one for sale (probably because it was an Athletic and not a Phillie).

I will gladly buy your Father and Son's Shoes Phillies for $40 a card! That is a 100% profit for you!

There are several players that make their only appearance on a card in this set, so I am interested in those players.
