Dating a rare type set via online newspaper archives, World Champion Cardinals
UPDATE: SGC WILL NOW GRADE THESE!
I sent in my research and notes. Along with my two copies of Red. SGC will now accept them.
Hi folks, its been a while since I've made one of these identification/fun sort of posts. But today I'd like to share my discovery dating the cardinals world champion set.
Before, many people have thought the issue was 1965. Well I just found an article from Nov 5th 1964 stating them as being available starting Nov 15th 1964. Thus making them a 1964 Issue. Exhausted quite literally every online newspaper source looking for some sort of breakthrough and finally I got lucky.
Hoping with this info I can get Sgc to slab them as I think they would like great. Or any other tpg for you all if interested.
Not too crazy of a discovery but cool enough I thought it would be fun to share. Hopefully I have inspired some of you all to try newspaper searching for info on your rare releases.
Also a scan of Red for your viewing pleasure, please share yours.
