Item Description
Each is 1-1/8" tin litho. Topps initial marketing materials promoted 90 different but actually produced only 60, sold with a piece of gum in a box picturing Ted Williams for 5¢. All images used on these buttons match the 1956 Topps baseball card series photos. There are a total of 12 Hall of Famers included in the set: Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Yogi Berra, Gil Hodges, Al Kaline, Ed Mathews, Willie Mays, Phil Rizzuto, Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Warren Spahn and Ted Williams. Three rarities exist: Chuck Diering, Hector Lopez and Chuck Stobbs. As is typical w/litho buttons the scattered wear includes paint nicks and scratches. Of the 15 keys mentioned, only Diering shows significant wear and is VG. The rest of the keys, and the set for that matter, is overall bright, glossy and mostly Fine to VF w/some Exc. A desirable baseball button issue that is not an easy task to assemble, so this is a rare opportunity to obtain the set all at once. The only other set we have offered in our 56 years was Paul Muchinsky's which sold in our March 2022 auction for $3,997.
