In 1949, the California-based Hage's Dairy began a three-year run of producing baseball cards featuring PCL players, that were distributed inside popcorn boxes at the concession stands at Lane Field Park, then home of the San Diego Padres.  The cards were printed on thin stock, the checklist occasionally including multiple poses of its players. Due to the regional nature of their distribution, the set was weighted heavily towards San Diego players. The cards issued in 1949 could be found with multiple different color tints: black and white, blue, green and sepia, and are found with advertising or blank backs. The three issues are similar in appearance; the 1949 cards can be identified by the fact that the team names appear in large type. The cards are extremely scarce today.

Pitcher Bob Kelly went 9-16 with the last place Los Angeles Angels of 1949, just his second pro season that would bring him to the Cubs and the Reds in the major leagues.  Graded AUTHENTIC by SGC, the card appears to have been trimmed on three sides, though the image remains strong and clear.
