Default First time I've seen these: 1930 Blue Ribbon Malt

Posted By: Tim Newcomb

This beautiful set has been one of my little secret loves for a long time. The 1930 Cubs is the largest group. There is also a 1930 White Sox set identical in design which is even tougher to find. I'm not sure the checklist is even complete on those. they are so scarce.

Leon's post pictures a 1931, which contained only three players, I believe, and has the caption at the bottom.

It's too bad the poster cutouts have been presented more prominently than these gray-backed photos, since (as an earlier poster mentioned) they are not really cards at all, any more than cut up 4-in-1 Exhibits. The large-format photos should get more respect (and should go up dramatically in price -- just after I complete my set:) )

I'm looking for a few Cubs and many White Sox if anyone has any to sell!

Tim
