To say these are rare is an understatement. In the 14 years I have been active on Ebay less than a handful have appeared, NONE have ever been offered by an auction house to my knowledge. In the next couple of days I will post some more scans.

To answer a question above, these were issued in all years 1963-1969 on the side of 1/2 gallon milk cartons. As a child I had dozens and dozens of 1967-1969's, my mother bought a 1/2 gallon of 2% milk every week. Sadly all were sold with my baseball cards in 1981. The baseball cards have been replaced 100x's over. It took me 10 years to find 4 of the Fairmont Dairy cards, even doing shows in Kansas City on a regular basis. I have now acquired several cards from each year, many of which were uncatalogued at the time as they were so rare no one knew who was in the set.

I would like to hear from anyone else collecting these as well.

I do have one lower grade one on Ebay that ends Weds 5-4-2011 http://cgi.ebay.com/1967-Kansas-City...item4aaab3fa55
