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 Lyman Linde is the subject of this example, graded EX-NM 6 by SGC. Linde has two different cards in the set. One shows the pitcher actually pitching, and this version shows him posing with a smile. Centering is fantastic, with sharp corners and crisp edges. The card is clean and bright, save for some very faint soiling near the bottom right corner. This is an extraordinary example seldom seen with this sort of visual appeal.

SGC has only ever graded 3 total examples of this 1949 Hage's Dairy card, with NONE receiving a higher grade than the EX-NM 6 offered here of San Diego's Lyman Linde.
