The company, Major Leaguers, put out a small order form in 1943/44. On one side it has how to order your Major League Baseball Pen and Pencil set with insignia of team "checked". Then there were boxes of the teams so you could pick one. On the other side it has how to order 30 Full Color Poster Stamps and 36 Page Album. At the bottom of the form it says "USA Only, Sorry no _____ or ______." The correct answer has to include answers to those 2 blanks. And since it is more explicit now, Everyone still has 2 guesses starting now, but no edits. Please use separate posts for answers. Hope this helps. I can't make them too easy or it takes 5 seconds and the game is over. It's pretty hard to stump our board. (or at least those who care to play or read etc...). Good luck!!

ps... IF there is any question as to who wins I will make the final determination and try to be as fair as possible. First exact and correct guess still wins.

No, sorry. Since I will be on the board most of the night and watching all of the auction stuff, I probably won't announce anything except the winner from here on out. Good luck and when I see the correct answer I will jump in.

fascinating. Apparently nearly identical sets or maybe the same set sold by different companies. Or perhaps one sold the others set?

The article from the poster stamp bulletin October 1944
http://www.alphabetilately.org/Cisfor/PSB/09-5-1.html

And their ad from later in the same issue.

A bit confusing since they describe it as a set of 30 in one part of the article but later call it a set of 24 and show it as 24 in the ad.

As near as I can tell, they're the same set.
