Interesting collection of four cards each featuring Yankees outfielder Bob Meusel each card #7 each issued in 1928 as part of four sets often associated with the "ice cream" issues of 1928. The collection includes the following: 1) 1928 Harrington's Ice Cream: Appealing and clean graded VG 3 by SGC due to rounded corners; 2) 1928 Tharp's Ice Cream: Sharp but visible staining on the surface reduces the technical grade to VG 3 from SGC; 3) 1928 W502: Very attractive and sharp "One Bagger" example off-center from left-to-right graded GD+ 2.5 by SGC; 4) 1928 Yuengling's Ice Cream: sharp with a few areas of discoloration near the top of the card along with a top-to-bottom centering issue. Graded VG 3 by SGC. Four cards total each desirable card types from the popular 1928 "ice cream" issues (though just three of the four types can definitively be tied to ice cream brands).
