The 1950s ushered in the Golden Age of baseball cards and along with it came a host of regional issues that captured the interest of collectors and never let go. Even today 1950s regional and non-mainstream issues - particularly those from 1954 for whatever reason - remain immensely popular among collectors. The Red Heart Dog Food set of 1954 is among the most popular due to its beautiful simplistic design its colorful cards and its incredible player selection. With ten tough single-printed cards and 11 Hall of Famers this 33-card set boasts something that neither the Topps nor Bowman issues of that year can: a card of Hall of Famer Stan Musial. One of the more difficult re-background cards (the cards were issued in three colored series: blue green and red with the red being the most scarce) the single-printed card of the popular Cardinals Hall of Famer is easily the set's key card. The issue's desirability factor is further elevated by the presence of a beautiful portrait card of Mickey Mantle a tough single-printed #1 card of Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn and a very popular card of Dodgers centerfielder Duke Snider. Presented here is an exquisite high-grade complete set of 33 cards each of which have been submitted directly by us and were never before graded. The cards are exceptional each boasting rich color and a strong image. The set is strong enough to rank #36 on the PSA Set Registry with a weighted GPA of 5.78.
