Item Description
3.5x3.5". The set consists of 52 cards. The 1952 Red Man Tobacco card set marked the first national set of tobacco cards produced since the early part of the 20th century. The 25 top players and one manager from each league comprised this highly desirable first year issue. Each item featured a colorful, quality likeness of the respective ballplayer resting against a solid background, with his name, team name and biographical data appearing in a white block on the card front. Handling wear and creasing is often problematic. Furthermore, each piece was originally issued with a .5" perforated tab along the bottom of the card, which was often haphazardly removed, resulting in further damage. The cards are numbered and dated only on the tabs.
Theodore Samuel Williams was an American professional baseball player and manager. He played his entire 19-year Major League Baseball (MLB) career, primarily as a left fielder, for the Boston Red Sox from 1939 to 1960; his career was interrupted by military service during World War II and the Korean War. Nicknamed "Teddy Ballgame", "the Kid", "the Splendid Splinter", and "The Thumper", Williams is regarded as one of the greatest hitters in baseball history and to date is the last player to hit over .400 in a season. Some of his many career highlights include being a 19 time All-Star, two time MVP and two time Triple Crown winner. Ted Williams was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1966.
