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.
Stanley Frank Musial, nicknamed "Stan the Man", was an American baseball outfielder and first baseman. Widely considered to be one of the greatest and most consistent hitters in baseball history, Musial spent 22 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB), playing for the St. Louis Cardinals, from 1941 to 1944 and from 1946 to 1963, before becoming a first-ballot inductee into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969. Some of his many career highlights include being a 24 time All-Star, a three time World Series Champion, a three time MVP and a seven time NL batting champion. He was named as part of the Major League Baseball All-Century Team. The autograph on the card is bold and well placed at the front bottom center of the card. The PSA population report indicates this is the single card in this grade w/only one card graded higher.
