Frank WakefieldI found a 9th Sov 150 in my pile of cards. Powers.
I found it while looking to see what was on the back of my Schaefer Detroit card, in a different thread (P 150).
I got an extra Powers because I figure he's a bit more difficult than normal cards. He died while the cards were out, I figure it is likely some kids threw his card away after he died. I recall as a kid in my early collecting days those first few years, I'd toss the old guys who had retired over to one side... they weren't as interesting to me after they were out of baseball.
So I figure maybe the printers quit printing them for the Tobacco Trust, or maybe kids tossed them, but it seems there are fewer Powers cards out there than there are of some of his contemporaries.
