Item Description
The E254 Colgan's Chips were produced by Colgan's and were unique, round black and white discs as opposed to a more traditional rectangular card. Even though the cards were circular, Colgan's possibly experimented with four-sided cards. In addition to the three disc issues, a square, 'proof' set is also known with more than 50 cards, of which this is an example. Those cards were similar in design to the discs with only a player image, name, and team on the fronts. Backs of the square cards, however, are blank. The exact origins of them are unclear and it should be pointed out that, while they are commonly referred to as proofs, that may not really be the case. Bob Unglaub was a first baseman, utility infielder and manager in Major League Baseball who played for the New York Highlanders, Boston Americans, and Washington Senators.
