Complete 25-card example of this popular regional issue featuring members of the Atlanta Braves.  The cards were distributed singly in boxes of cookies, and also as one complete set through a mail-in redemption offer.  This is a particularly clean and attractive set, originating from the collection of longtime Baltimore Orioles broadcaster and hobbyist Ted Patterson.  We elected to submit the entire set to PSA for grading some time ago, where it unfortunately became delayed in that company's extensive grading backlog.  We were pleased to receive the cards back recently, and elected to list it on PSA's Set Registry, where it attained a rank of #9.

A complete breakdown of the cards and their grades is as follows: PSA NM 7 (10 cards): #6 Cole, #8 Jolly, #11 Surkont, #12 Wilson, #13 Sisti, #14 Cooper, #15 Crandall, #22 Bruton, #24 Pafko and #25 Pendleton.  PSA EX-MT 6 (10 cards): #2 Antonelli, #3 Bickford, #4 Buhl, #7 Johnson, #9 Liddle, #10 Spahn (HOF), #16 St. Claire, #17 Adcock, #19 Dittmer and #20 Logan. PSA EX+ 5.5 (1 card): #18 Crowe; PSA EX 5 (3 cards): #5 Burdette, #21 Mathews (HOF) and #23 Gordon. PSA VG-EX 4 (1 card): #1.  An exceptional set, tucked away in the collection of a longtime hobbyist for decades, only recently graded by PSA.  25 cards total.
