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.
Warren Edward Spahn was an American professional baseball pitcher who played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). A left-handed pitcher, Spahn played in 1942 and then from 1946 until 1965, most notably for the Boston Braves, who became the Milwaukee Braves after the team moved west before the 1953 season. His baseball career was interrupted by his military service in the United States Army during World War II. A few of his many career accomplishments include being a 17 time All-Star, A Cy Young Award and World Series Championship in 1957, led the NL in strikeouts four times and threw two career No-Hitters. Warren Spahn was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1973. The autograph on this card is bold with excellent placement front and center. This signed copy is one of only three examples ever graded by PSA with none graded higher.
