Are there any newspaper-based minor league issues?

This is in the post war section. Where you looking for post war cards or any? The LA Examiner printed sport stamps which included PCL players:

Are those from 1936 as a number of newspapers seem to print them that season?

That's the same thing I was thinking when I saw 'em.

Jesse Hill was traded to Washington in Jan. of '36 and left after 33 games in '37 and the DiMaggio mentions him being a prize rookie that's "hitting and fielding like a veteran his first season up", which should confirm a 1936 date.

Thanks, that's the kind of thing I was looking for, I just wasn't sure whether pre-war would turn up any results. I'll dig around in some 1936 newspaper archives and see if I can turn up any more.

The 1983 - 1985 Wichita Eagle Beacon multisport set includes some players from the Wichita Aeros.

Interesting, David. Too bad Robby Alomar played there a couple of years later......

The Boston American was one of the major producers of those sports stamps in 1936. A Feller Rookie appears in there.
