Item Description
3.5x4". The 1954 Red Man Tobacco card set consists of 50 cards. The 25 top players comprised this issue, which eliminated the presence of American League and National League managers found in the prior two Red Man Tobacco editions. 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. The design was nearly identical to the prior year issues, with company advertising on the back and one of two expiration dates: March 31 or May 31, 1955. Yogi Berra, Roy Campanella, Whitey Ford, Gil Hodges, Willie Mays, Pee Wee Reese, Phil Rizzuto, Duke Snider and Warren Spahn anchor the set. Condition issues abound with the set, including the sensitive nature of the colored borders. As the large cards were sealed in plastic and affixed to the outside pouches of their tobacco product, handling wear and creasing is often problematic. Furthermore, each piece was originally issued with a ½" perforated tab along the bottom of the card, which was often haphazardly removed, resulting in further damage.

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 is bold and has excellent placement without impeding the image. This signed copy is the only example ever graded by PSA, making it a true 1/1.
