Mike:

Aside from other collectors on this forum, eBay is your best chance of finding these cards. I would also check the pages on the Vintage Link Page of this forum.

Based on my experience in the last 10 years of collecting Lefty Grove cards, I would make the following observations regarding the cards on your wantlist:

Readily available:
W554

Somewhat hard to find:
1930 Bacguer Chocolate

Very hard to find:
1933 Rittenhouse
1933 Uncle Jacks Candy

Almost impossible:
1929 Leader Novelty Candy Company
W553
W574

I don't know about the others, since Lefty is not in any of those sets. In some cases, you should settle for any of these cards that you can find, irregardless of the condition that they're in. You can upgrade later if you find a better example.

I hope this helps.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I have what I believe to be over 100 Foxx items. These are basically the only remaining cards I need. I watch E Bay on a daily basis. I have for years. But if you or anyone come across any of these, I'd appreciate being told. Most of my Foxx cards are 6's or better. I would not expect to find any of these in that grade. I will take what I can get.

I have a delong in a 7. A diamond star in an 8. both playballs are 7's etc etc. So yes. I know the one's I am looking for are hard. My buttercream in a 4, was hard to locate. As was the U S Caramel. But anyway, thanks for the great reply.
