Looks like a mini W517 Harold Traynor but am not sure. Dimensions are 1 7/8" x 2 11/16". Back is blank. |

Thanks for the quick reply fkw. It was on my SGC submission sheet as a W517 mini. |

The 1991 Sotheby's Copeland Auction (biggest auction in history) lists lot #707 as having "33 different Leader Novelty Candy Co. cards" (only 8 players are named auction description). But even 15 years later only 20 different have ever been checklisted in catalogs (2006 SCD has 20 dif.), and they have only been listed in catalogs in the last 4-5 years. There is no known complete checklist or sets. I see maybe 2-3 a year on eBay if that. |

Is that red one yours fkw? Does the card have bigger borders than seen in the scan? Should I try and have SGC numerically grade mine? |

As Frank said they are very scarce. IMO on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being my T231 , I would put these at about a 7. I am hard on the term "rare" as I think it's over used far too often (is that a redundant statement?)....I only see about 1-2 Leader's a yr for sale, on average.... |

Sorry Leon and et al, I meant to ask why there are so few seen? Bad candy, hard economic times in 1929, area where they were sold had small market, other reason? |

No idea why there aren't more Leader Candy cards. Still, more of them than a number of issues. I have eight of them. Like the red ones best. |
