Incredibly rare Philadelphia-area regional issue distributed by Sealtest Dairy. Each of 12 cards consisted of oversized cards (3 1/2" x 4 1/2") that doubled as stickers with peel-off backs. The cards are identical to the Lummis Peanut Butter cards issued in the same year. While the key cards to the issue are Richie Ashburn and Robin Roberts the remaining ten cards are valuable in their own right rarely found and with considerable bidder competition on the rare occasion that one becomes available. Beautiful high-grade card of pitcher Curt Simmons in mid-windup clearly a spring training or practice photo as evidenced by the lack of a professional stadium backdrop. Graded NM 84 by SGC the card exhibits mild corner touches and edge wear that keep the card from a higher holder and yet do not detract from its outstanding visual appeal.
