This regional issue has limited appeal so the cards are not expensive. I tracked all of the eBay sales from 1985 to 1988, and the 1947 cards average selling price was around $25.
Cool cards for PCL collector though, especially Seattle Rainiers collectors. It is one of the few card sets issued during the WW2 years.
The front and back designs changed a little from year-to-year. Old Cardboard has a representative from each year: http://www.oldcardboard.com/f/flour/...cardsetid=1002 |
Yea the lack of a 1946 year hurts since it meant Blas Monaco got missed, I own a '43 of Eddie Carnett who's still trucking along at 96
