Tougher regional issue featuring members of the Pittsburgh Pirates, printed on 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" unnumbered, blank-backed yardstick, each featuring a full portrait of a Pirates player.  While most intact collections of these cards are missing the Matty Alou, which is considered more scarce than the others, it is the card of Bill Mazeroski that is missing from this group of seven cards.  The cards, in general, present well, but with some light toning at the edges, and corner and edge wear consistent with having been stored in a shoebox for many years, in which they were not a good fit.  Some light wrinkling and corner creases are visible, as are a few tiny edge tears are visible here and there, a result of the thin stock on which the cards were printed.  Collection includes Gene Alley, Matty Alou, Steve Blass, Roberto Clemente (HOF), Jerry May, Larry Shepard, and Willie Stargell (HOF).  Seven cards total.
