Really cool Vander Meer.

Is that the same Richards that was a manager in the 60s?

Rhett - Thanks for sharing ! Certainly never seen a newspaper stamp!

Yes, that's the same Paul Richards...........(my '52 Bowman):

Rhett, those are really nice. I love the old minor league issues. Do you know how these were issued? Did they put all of the stamps in one paper, or did they put one or two players per day in each paper over a period of time? Were these from a special insert in the paper or were they in the regular sports section?

Thanks for showing them.

Thanks for showing those Rhett. I would love to pick up a single specimen to go with my group if you want to ever let one go. It's neat that we are still finding new sets like these that haven't come to light after all of these years until now. These type stamps were put out by quite a few papers in 1936. I just found the Sporting News ones a year or two ago and have not seen any others from that set yet.

We were just making some real progress on cataloging the various "Sports Stamps" newspaper issues when I left the Standard Catalog. It would have been great to have the information on the Southern Association issue.
