I'm not sure if there are any others. Too bad Aaron and Mathews spent no time with Hartford.

Thanks Paul. I was hoping for Bob to chime in to.

Probably a blessing for me Aaron or Mathews weren't in it. Might have been gone long before I had a chance to pick them up.

As a collector of regional and minor league issues I would be interested in making an offer for any that you would be willing to part with. Please let me know if interested and thanks a lot.

Thanks Mark. Still holding out for more info.

If I were to submit to SGC does anybody know what I would classify these as?

Dave,

Drop Brian Dwyer an email: bdwyer@sgccard.com. Ask him to have a look at this thread. Then ask him how to word the submission. He'll take care of you.

Dave:

By virtue of the fact that there is no advertiser on the cards I suspect they were a team issue. I have seen similar sets and individual cards/photos from back in the day.

I am still very interested if you decide to move any of the cards but if not I hope that you are able to get the definitive information you are looking for.

Heard back from Brian with a very nice response regarding grading. They would label them 1951 Hartford Chiefs and possibly put in the designation "Team Issue".

They are classified as over-sized so they would cost 20 bucks apiece to grade.

They are in real nice shape and I imagine they would grade out in the 7, 8 and possibly a couple in the 9 range. However I'm still not sure that would justify the cost on these.

Anybody want to convince me otherwise?
