Any Experts on 1954-56 Spic and Span Postcards?

spazzy

I have a chance to pick up some of these cards in nice shape. They are postcard size and have a blank back except for a place to put postage. I see Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews are in the set. Are they scarce or rare? Are there many collectors out there? It is a Braves set issue with a complete set at 18 cards. Does anyone have any information on these and value?
Thanks

I'll take a stab...Pretty scarce regional and very condition sensitive set. The Aaron is of course is the marquee card. Very limited VCP information for sales trends. I have a PSA7 Aaron and absolutely love it. Finding a complete set would, in my humble opinion, be very rare and a fantastic opportunity if the price is right...have you any scans to share?

The 1954-56 set are larger than "postcard size" (4" by 6"), while the 1953-55 set are slightly smaller than "postcard size" (3.25" by 5.5")

The 1953-55 set is a bit tougher than the 1954-56 set... both sets sell for less than "book value" in the real world
PS. the blank back versions of the 1953-55 set were issued by Wisco Gas and are often found personally signed

As noted, prolly not super valuable unless they are MINT.

SnS relased cards in other sports and for teams in sundry markets,
thru at least the 1970s. Not sure if/when they stopped.

I like the idea of having a bunch of them in slabs.

Here is the '55 Del Crandall, corrected version. The error is a reverse negative; a card I's like to find.
