  • Major Find of Rare Al Demaree Die Cuts R304) in Wisconsin
    Major Find of Rare Al Demaree Die Cuts (R304) in Wisconsin Father‟s cards are under the bed Plus an interview with Marshall S. Leaf concerning the history of Leaf Gum and the R304s By George Vrechek A few months ago a hard-working Wisconsin man looked under a bed and found 109 of the rarest baseball cards ever issued. I‟ll call the man “Ken.” The cards are known in the hobby as the 1934 R304 Al Demaree Die-Cuts by Dietz Gum Co. of Chicago. I once described these cards as coming around about as often as eclipses. Before everyone starts looking under their beds, there is a bit more to the story including why this obscure set is so interesting. Ken has never been much of a collector and certainly had never heard of the Al Demaree Die- Cuts. However Ken‟s dad collected cards as a kid in the 1930s.
