1958 Bell Brand Dodger's Set

I never knew the displays even existed. Thanks for sharing. I've learned a lot already from this thread. The regional issue sets interest me. I would think with their size difference with other standard issue versions they would be subject to storage risks. Hence, just like with any cards not 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 they seemed to get damaged more. That would make them harder to find in higher grades for sure. Thoughts?

I’d agree with you if there weren’t stacks of undistributed ones in the 70’s still around. That put a lot of high grade ones out there. I put together a set of 8’s about 10 years ago fairly quickly and the pops are even higher now.

I've bought quite a few private collections through the years, one even contained a 52 Mantle #311. However, I have never purchased a collection that contained one these cards. In addition, I have never seen one in a private collection. I would love to find a stack of these untouched somewhere! Maybe I'll start looking.
