I have the set and an original envelope. The Cardinals address is printed in the upper left of the envelope but there is no sign of a postmark. A handwritten note was included with a set that was auctioned earlier this year. The note reads . . .
"Early 30's, Tuberculosis Day, rained out 1st day, Cards won 2-1, Flint Rhem pitch, Boston Braves op., Uncle Henry took me to game, bought pictures 50 cents, receipts went to cure tuberc"
Tuberculosis Day was an annual event. I can't find a Rhem game against Boston that was 2-1 so not sure what year is referenced but it explains why many of the mailing envelopes that turn up have no postmark.
