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.
Robert William Andrew Feller nicknamed "the Heater from Van Meter", "Bullet Bob", and "Rapid Robert", was an American baseball pitcher who played 18 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cleveland Indians between 1936 and 1956. In a career spanning 570 games, Feller pitched 3,827 innings and posted a win-loss record of 266-162, with 279 complete games, 44 shutouts, and a 3.25 earned run average (ERA). His career 2,581 strikeouts were third all-time upon his retirement. Bob Feller was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1962. The autograph on the card is bold and well placed at the front bottom center and doesn't impede the image. The PSA population report indicates this is the single card in this grade w/only one card graded higher.
