Posted By: <b>Jay Miller&nbsp; </b><p>Does anyone know anything about the Huntley and Palmers Biscuits trade card featuring a baseball vignette that is lot 11 in Smolin's Auction? The things I would love to find out are what year/years these cards are from and what they sell for. Thanks for any help.

Posted By: <b>Jay Miller</b><p>Thanks for your help guys! I guess the $150 MB is a little strong then. <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14>. Any interesting lots that you guys have found?
