Those are the only 3 I am missing from the 5 baseball sets Topps put out in 1951. Even have both versions of the Team Cards. These 3 were never issued, maybe for the reason Paul mentioned but their scarcity would seem to incicate they were not printed and held back but probably never printed in any volume. A board member created some fantasy versions that in hand would never be confused with the originals but look pretty good in the binder with my set.
I think Larry S told me he once bought one of them some years back at a show but that he ulitimately decided was a fake and returned it. I may be wrong in that recollection
The last time I saw them come up I bid a lot but was not enven close. Not going to even try this time
