D304 General Baking Master Set

[danmckee]

I had a chill go down my spine when I saw the almost complete set in the Goodwin upcoming auction. I have been working on a master set of these for 30+ years and I am missing just 1 card, you guessed it, the Herzog with black bar. The same one the set in Goodwin's is missing, coincidence?

My question to the board is: does this card actually exist?

Heck I even have the original ad piece for the set.

Thanks for any help, Dan.

Dan,
It was the last one I needed too, but I was able to acquire one earlier this year. I'll try to post a scan in a few days.

Hi Dan,

I have one thanks to David McDonald.

Here's a link to the scan I don't think there's any question that it's the toughest card in the set of 30.

A PSA 5 sold in 2006 and then a PSA3 went in 2005.

Robert,
I sold you that card for like 25 cents, right?

Hi David,

Don't remember the price, but there aren't a ton of folks actively looking for a D304 Herzog "traded" card so I'm sure the price today wouldn't be astronomical.

Anyhow, thanks again for helping with my set.

Do you still have your D304s?

This ad piece is D304, no question in my mind:

Great ad piece. I personally would lean toward the D381 issue, though, because the ad text mentions 'photos' included with the loaves of bread. Would D304 cards be identified at the time as 'photos'?

Even with the 3 different backs mentioned? Aren't D381 just Fleischmann and some other very rare tab that leon and JC have? Dan.

I do see what you mean about the photo word and not card or trading card. Dan.

It may be possible - in the early adverts for T206s, they are not advertised as cards, but rather, pictures:
"Handsomely lithographed pictures in colors of famous professional baseball
players in the major leagues"

although I could definitely see a point that "photos" is more specific then "pictures"...
