Thanks for posting that Dormand postcard of Yankee Stadium. I wasn't aware that it existed.

As far as the Dormand player postcards, I have been working on the set for a couple of years now. I am missing only Skowron to complete my run of players, but I'm nowhere near complete on all the variations.

I believe that some of the scarcity for some players is based on when they joined the Yankees. The set has been given a 1953-55 date and the Yankees that joined the team later in that run seem to be scarcer, guys like Howard, Slaughter, and Konstanty.

For me, Houk, Stengel, and Howard were very tough.

I'm still not covinced that the date of issue on these was 1953. I'd like to find one with a 1952 postmark. Since the Yankees are wearing their 1952 jerseys in the photos, I'm not convinced it took a whole year to issue the cards. Any thoughts on that are appreciated.
