The cards are kind of interesting - would like to own the Foxx - there's no major cards like Ruth. But my question is...what kind of company was Geoge C. Miller?
With a 5 grand BIN, this "chase" card for sale is for the really serious collector!

The backs of the cards do indicate that anyone sending in a complete 32 card set would receive one of three prizes:
A fielders mitt;
Regulation AL or NL baseball; or
One grandstand seat to a game in any major league park (except World Series)
Basically, the Ivy Andrews was the "chase card" in the set, similar to Goudey's 1933 Nap Lajoie.

That almost dead on.
GcM was a candy company in the Boston area. There were a number of candy companies that issued cards in the '20s (lot's of Ruth's.) GcM was probably one of the last remnants of that era.
Why are you getting rid of it already ? As far as i'm concerned these rare pre war cards are great future investments.
T206's are always being bought.

It was always one of those back burner wantlist cards, and I missed the opportuntiy seven years ago before I saw it again on Mastro. I got into collecting rare Hot Wheels (yes, I'm serious), so it's about opportunity cost. Moreover, I might be redirecting focus to 19th Century baseball. I really won't be dissapointed if it doesn't sell.
There's a great write-up on '33 Millers in a previous issue of the Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector. I can fax you if interested.
Do you have any good links that would give me a quick, general overview of the hobby? I'm always curious to learn about what other people collect.
Collector of Vintage Golf cards! Let me know what you might have.
