Honestly, pretty damn hard. I know a collector of Cleveland Indians postcards and I think he still doesn’t have this one. It was part of an “update” set and is not part of the standard 1975 team issue.

I bought mine in 2014 and, while I don’t track every AH and eBay sale, my spreadsheet notes show that I have seen a total of zero since that purchase. I believe I learned of the card in 2010 or so and hadn’t seen any for sale for the four years leading up to my purchase. There’s always a chance you stumble upon one in a random postcard lot, so don’t give up hope. But I wouldn’t hold my breath either!

Gotcha. Thanks, Derek!

I learned of this through Derek years ago and have not seen one since.
