I have one to sell!
Boston MA confectioner George C. Miller & Co keeping up with its local competitors Goudey and National Chicle issued a 32-card baseball set along with packages of its toffee in 1933. The set contained 16 American League and 16 National League players and was issued as part of a much larger promotion where youngsters could collect complete sets and then redeem them for prizes. The company would then cancel the cards (with a hole punch or by clipping the bottom third of the card) and then return them to the collector with their prize. Due to the company's regional distribution these cards are much more scarce than their Goudey or National Chicle counterparts. Additionally the prevalence of cancelled cards makes uncanceled examples all the more scarce. Additionally the uncanceled examples are typically found at the very low end of the grading scale. Cards in midgrades or better are scarce unlike many other issues of the era. This is one such example of Hall of Famer Jimmy Foxx. Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA the card boasts a strong appearance for the issue slight corner wear responsible for the grade. A key card of the issue which lacks a Ruth or Gehrig making Foxx one of the set's biggest names.
