These were issued locally to Baltimore only and were inside a loaf of Tip top Bread.
Now you may ask yourself, how does Dan know this? Is he just guessing or did some old Indian elder tell him while sharing the peace pipe?
Well, Dan has a copy of the newspaper ad that was in a 1921 Baltimore Sun paper and it shows the premiums and a loaf of Tip Top Bread.
These are about the size of a Goudey Fine Pen and are made of similar paper stock.
They are very rare and the true Lefty Grove Rookie card is included in the set.
Or should I say pre-rookie since Baltimore was in the International League in 1921.
Ok now that the cat is out of the bag I would appreciate everyone feeling very sorry for me and returning all of my Alpha cards. Then I want everyone on the board to promise that they will not bid on any of these premiums.
Thanks for your cooperation!
and of course I am joking, good luck to everyone interested, it is a great local issue from the Baltimore area.
take care

Dan,
According to Jeff P., this doesn't count unless you say "Dibs!"
