Item Description
1.75x2.5". This is the third and final Toleteros set which is the most sought after and desirable of the three for a variety of reasons, first and a foremost being the inclusion of the legendary and historic Josh Gibson card. For this year, two different sets were issued. The first set is 180 unnumbered player cards while the second set is 178 numbered "In Action" cards. As with the other years, an album was also issued. Cards are thin card stock w/full color photos fronts and black backs.
