Hage's Dairy of Southern California issued three card sets in three years starting in 1949. According to researcher David Levin, the cards were not included in any of their products, however, they were issued in boxes of popcorn sold at the concessions stands at Lane Field Park, home of the San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast League. The first and most rare of the three sets is the 1949 F65-1 Hage's set, consisting of 105 different cards printed on thin stock. The unnumbered, blank-backed cards have images printed inside a white border. The half-tone images were printed in one of four color tints: Black & White, Sepia, Blue, or Green.

San Diego's Will Hafey is the subject of this example, graded VG 3 by SGC. Hafey has two different cards in the set. One shows the pitcher posing, and this version shows him actually pitching. Printed with blue ink,the centering on this one is very nice. Softer corners and edges are consistent with the grade. Some faint soiling near the top, as well as a crease toward the upper left corner, keep this card from grading even higher than it already has. However, the scarcity of this issue far outweighs any cosmetic flaws on this example.

SGC has only ever graded 3 total examples of this 1949 Hage's Dairy card, with NONE receiving a higher grade than the VG 3 offered here of San Diego's Will Hafey.
