Difficult regional Cleveland Indians book issued by the Fleet-Wing gas station the 6x9" booklet contains biographic and statistical information on Cleveland players blank pages for scoring games and information about the company's products. According to the late Bob Lemke "the pictures from the gas station promotion are the same as those found on the 1952 Num Num potation chips though the Fleet-Wings are larger at 6x9" and have the facsimile signatures." Lemke checklisted the issue by player pose and color of facsimile autograph to differentiate them from the Num Nums; we checked all against his list and they are all Fleet Wings. The collection is only missing Lou Brissie and Bob Lemon for completion and includes Bob Feller Larry Doby Al Lopez Al Rosen Early Wynn and other Indians stalwarts. The booklet and premiums are in FAIR to POOR condition with considerable wear taped together. An example where rarity is more important than condition.
