Ted ZanidakisI have completed 2 of these PCL sets (36 cards each) and have sold another 2 sets worth of cards. All 144 cards
were acquired by me during the 1980's. I seldom see these PCL cards available nowadays.
Mark Macrae and I wrote an article on this PCL set in the VCBC magazine 10 years ago. In this article we tell of our
experiences in finding these cards.
This will surprise most of you....but, my experience acquiring many of these cards has been on the East coast......
in particular in the greater Philadelphia area. I purchased several large original Bowman collections which included
FACTORY CUT PCL's. The original owners of these cards recalled finding these PCL's in regular issue 1949 Bowman
packs.
These PCL cards, and especially a complete set of these 36 cards, has to be absolutely the most scarce issue in
the post-WWII era.
