    I believe fleer put out a set 2 or 3 years ago for both leagues
    Topps included umps in some of there 50s sets they ain't worth much
    remember noone likes an ump.
        
                                   t.g.
    
66.2Yes, they have a value...REMACP::RICHARDSONTue May 16 1989 18:499
    
    The 1955 Bowan set had umpires towards the end numbers(high numbers
    of the set) Last year, a company (Pacific, I think) put out an
    Umpire set that was limited print available only to dealers..
    (of course..)  I havent heard much on the latter set, but if your
    collecting the 55' Bowman set, you HAVE to have them if you want
    the full set.. I guess $12-$35 is considered 'No Value' (55's) :^)

    I wonder if they have made up a Bob Engels card of him slipping 4,180
    Score baseball cards into a brown paper bag, and trying to tip-toe out
    of the department store without being noticed, or paying for the cards?
    He'll be collecting and trading cards in SING-SING, or Alcatraz.  Has
    anyone heard if he's back umpiring games anymore, the players will raz
    this guy like there is no tommorrow.
