The Red Man Tobacco baseball card sets issued between 1952-55 were the first nationally distributed tobacco advertising cards since the early days of the 20th century. The 50 card set released in 1955 measures 3.5x4" and included 25 ballplayers from each league. Card fronts feature full color portraits. Advertising back denotes promotions being offered by Red Man. This is a key card from the set. Mays is widely considered a Top 5 player of all-time and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979. Bold signature but w/small smudge. PSA/DNA pop report indicates that this is one of only three autographed examples w/this one being the highest ever graded.
