Chuck RPatrick: I don't see that listing in the 1960 original either (or in the blue cover '67 reprint). When you look at the ACC numbering system, it's pretty obvious that Burdick intentionally left gaps for later discoveries. For example, in the era I collect (30's), the nonsports in the ACC run from R1 to R 189, the 30's sports cards run from R300 to R346 and then the post war sports start at R401. Looks like he was aware that there was a lot of stuff yet to be uncovered. After the last issue of the ACC (1960), the folks who took over the Card Collector's Bulletin continued to designate ACC numbers to new discoveries. In the post card section, the sports issues in the 1960 ACC run from PC740 to PC798 and then the advertising post cards pick up at PC820. So, it may be that the set you're looking for turned up for the first time after 1960 (i.e. it was the fifth sports-related post card set uncovered after the last ACC).
