An extremely rare and difficult issue, the Lake to Lake cards (2 1/2 –by-3 ¼ inches) pose real challenges for collectors because the cards were issued stapled to milk cartons or used to redeem prizes, which meant a returned card had a hole punched in it. This offered set presents basically Ex to Ex-Mt, with about half of the grouping – Aaron, Boone, Bruton, Burdette, Maye, McMahon, Pafko, Pizarro, Roach, Rush, Scheffing, Spangler, Willey and Wyatt, revealing the residue from the staple removal. The Adcock card also has some scarring and paper loss; the Schoendienst card is Near-Mint. Simply and extraordinarily difficult issue offered here in seldom-found complete fashion.
