Patrick McMenemyI added Ralph's additional players to my checklist. I was pleased to see that, to date, my theory that Old Mill Cabinets were issued only for the Virginia League (Series #2), Carolina Association (Series #5), and the Eastern Carolina League (Series #6) players has held true.
From the 28 subjects known in 1986 and documented by Lew Lipset in his The Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards, Volume 3, an additional 10 players can be added. My checklist has 38 examples. I'll need to see if SCD has any additions listed in their price guide.
By my calculations, 14 teams are represented in the confirmed examples. The breakdown is as follows:
Anderson 1
Charlotte 2
Danville 4
Fayetteville 2
Greensboro 4
Greenville 2
Lynchburg 3
Norfolk 4
Petersboro 3
Raleigh 3
Richmond 3
Roanoke 4
Wilson 2
Winston-Salem 1

Total 38
21 from Series #2
10 from Series #5
7 from Series #6
