Did not realize that either, that is even more mystifying.
There was another somewhat recent thread discussing the true origins of the W711 team issued cards of the Cincinnati Reds in 1938, 1939, and 1940. And one of the posters was local and had a team contact that was involved in the Red's history that he called to get some additional info about those team issues. Anyone in the Chicago area want to try calling the team to see if anyone there might have any info or historical data on why the Cubs may not have been part of those sets? Probably best coming from a local fan. What's the worst they can do, just say no, right?
