Sometimes it's the small nuggets of new information that make collecting enjoyable. For each person it's different but for me it's the little nuances of obscure sets. Until a few months ago there had only been one known Kroger Bread-tag card (I was aware of). It was thought to have been from the 1940s. Then another popped up on the bay a few months ago and I won it. It was very similar to the previously known one. Then very recently the same seller put two more up on the bay and I was fortunate enough to make him a higher offer than the first one ended at and he accepted it. One of these two gives more specifics as to the dating of the set, 1936. These were a promo for a free pass to Perry Stadium. The stadium started life as Perry Stadium, named for Norm Perry, the club owner who built it in 1931. It was renamed Victory Field in 1942 in reference to World War II. In 1967 the ballpark was sold to the city, and later that same year it was renamed for former major league baseball player and Indianapolis native Donie Bush, who had served as president of the Indians from 1955 to 1969. (*thanks Wiki)
All three of these guys were on the Indianapolis team in 1936 and all eventually made the majors.
