Includes a checklist organized by team and a discussion providing a convincing argument for how many different cards were originally produced in the scarce set. Checklist includes five previously uncataloged postcards.

   


3) "'Toy Town Post Office' Stamper Found" by Richard Wong. After many years of speculation about the origins deadball-era baseball cards with "Toy Town" stamps on the backs, author Wong reveals for the first time the actual stamper used for stamping the cards. Examples of stamped cards from five different vintage sets are shown, along with details about the Milton-Bradley game in which the stamper was found.

   


4) "1908 PC798-14 Postcards: A Rose Baseball Comic Series" by Old Cardboard Staff. Rounding out the "Rose Company" focus in this issue, this two-page article presents a set of eight baseball "comic" postcards also produced by the Rose Company during the same timeframe as the more popular PC760 issue. Images of all eight cards in the set (which now carries the hobby designation PC798-14) are provided.
