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.
Shown above is an incredibly tough ROOKIE card of Hall of Famer
Jim Bottomley. Graded VG-EX by SGC with slight touches on the
corners and clean reverse.No wrinkles or creases.
