First of all welcome to Net54baseball, Larry. For future reference we do have a post-war (WWII) side of the board and that is where this question really should have gone. But all is good on this one. Newbies get quite a bit of leniency. We are just glad to have more collectors collecting with us!! I am sure you have thought of the obvious places, Ebay, public auctions, our own BST forums and Grand Slam Bids (lots more cards to be added soon), see link above. Other than those I can only think of shows, which seem to be fewer and fewer. Good luck in the quest and once again, welcome aboard!!

Welcome

Always amazed at what I see here, you just never know what you will find. I bought a 62 Omaha Dogers AAA baseball near set here thanks to another member BST a couple of months ago. I looked for it locally for years with no luck.

Good hunting on your wish list! - John

Okay, I guess it wasn't SPAM. I got an email from Larry asking this exact question, but it wasn't signed, there was no introduction, howdy, hello or how do you do..I just thought it was an email fisher.

Your best bet besides ebay is to post your wantlist on the B/S/T side of this board Larry.

Sorry, I did screw up. I am an unemployed school teacher; you would think I would be smarter!
Thanks for your help; I am glad to be a prt of this forum

There is a set of 1950 Montreal Royals exhibits that has the first cards of LaSorda and Alston

There are some cards that cover the PCL that fit your timeframe. Remars... Smith's Clothing. Signal Oil. And those popcorn cards, can't recall their name at the moment. Then there are team specific cards or photos, one for the Omaha Cardinals comes to mind. Look in the back section in the minor league section in that great publication, The Standard Catalog.

There is a nice Parkhust/Frostade set from 1952 that has Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal players in it. I've been collecting up the Ottawa players who also played in Lincoln...it's allowed me to get a few guys that didn't make the majors who have no other cards. This set also has Tommy lasorda in it.
