Item Description
Lot of four 3x5" cards w/player images, names, facsimile signatures on baseball images. Has metal 1-3/8x1-3/8" keychain attached. Each aluminum chain has full figure image of player w/facsimile signature on front and "Good Luck" message on back. Included are Ted Williams w/message on back "Keep Swingin'/Keep Hittin'/Win With Ted." Next is Ralph Kiner w/message on back "A Sure Hit/Keep Fit/Think Fair/Play Square." Third is Ewell Blackwell w/message "Live Clean/Study Hard/Work With A Will/To Set Your Mark." Last is Hal Newhouser w/message "Be Tops/Keep Fit/Work Hard And Play Clean." All charms are well made and retain their shiny finish. Only four designs were made and never distributed because of a lawsuit between Bowman and Topps over the copyright of Ted Williams. The company (Ralpat Co., Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.) did not want to get involved so they discontinued. Exc. and rare set.
