This regional set was issued late in the 1949 baseball season and quickly faded into obscurity. In the aftermath of World War II sportscard manufacturers were just beginning to kick back into production with 1948 sets produced by Bowman and Leaf along with some smaller issues like Topps Magic Photo Swell Sport Thrills and the like. Many of these sets featured black and white photography and many did not approach the level of quality that card-producing companies would reach just a few years later. Amidst the approaching postwar boom Eureka Sportstamps were one of the more attractive baseball issues. The stamps themselves were issued on team sheets that could be broken into individual stamps to be affixed into a stamp album that contained additional biographical information on each player. Featuring only National League players (along with the NL president and commissioner of baseball) the Eureka set contained sixteen Hall of Famers among the 200 subjects featured. Presented here is a group of 55 SGC-graded stamps from the set primarily in higher grades. Included in the collection are the following: SGC MINT 96 (1 card): #146; SGC NM/MT+ 92 (1 card): #175; SGC NM/MT 88 (14 cards): #18 Reiser #54 #88 Kluszewski #93 #107 #125 #160 #164 #170 #174 #186 #190 #192 #194; SGC NM+ 86 (2 cards): #23 #198 Slaughter (HOF); SGC NM 84 (14 cards): #2 Frick (HOF) #17 #64 #83 #126 Westrum #131 #133 #144 Roberts (HOF) #145 Rowe #147 #178 #193 #197 Schoendienst (HOF) #199; SGC EX/NM 80 (8 cards): #6 #13 #36 Furillo #55 #72 #84 #85 #177; SGC EX+ 70 (1 card): #60; SGC EX 60 (8 cards): #5 #8 #9 #15 #21 #69 #115 #129; SGC VG/EX+ 55 (2 cards): #12 #157; SGC VG+ 45 (1 card): #61 Leonard; SGC VG 40 (1 card): #56; SGC GOOD 30 (1 card): #101 Durocher (HOF); SGC A (1 card): #181.
