Additional Details

These trading cards are not graded, but the condition is not generally strong enough for a serious card collector--many cards are creased with rounded edges. You know you want them, though--these cards will offer hours of entertainment to any fan of 1950s baseball. Highlights include a 1958 Topps Mickey Mantle with just one faint crease near the bottom; a worn 1948 Bowman Stan Musial; a worn 1954 Bowman Mickey Mantle; and a 1959 Topps Sandy Koufax printed off-center, plus many other Hall of Famers. Our favorite is a 1953 Bowman depicting Phil Rizzuto and Billy Martin. Sprinkled in are a few football cards and some promoting the Zorro television series. We can provide no inventory.
