Issued by a Montreal candy company, these small (1-3/8"
X 2-1/4") black-and-white cards were redeemable for baseball
equipment, accounting for their scarcity today. Card #15, Stengel,
was only discovered in 1992 and was obviously short-printed by the
issuer to avoid giving away many bats, balls, and gloves. Only a
single specimen of the Stengel card is currently known. Above is
a very nice EX copy of this tough Canadian issue showing HOFer Joe
Sewell. What a grin!
