The 1934 baseball season was one of the greatest ever played and the pitching performances of St. Louis Cardinals brothers Dizzy and "Daffy" Dean were a big part of the reason why. While the pair's 49 combined wins is a statistic that is easy to digest it was the Cardinals' stretch run that saw the Dean brothers lift the entire team onto their backs and carry them to a Championship. In order to finishe one game ahead of the New York Giants in the National League the Cardinals won 18 of their last 23 games. In the team's last 29 games a Dean brother pitched in 19 starting 14 winning 11 with two saves. Paul Dean pitched two extra inning complete games and they combined for 11 complete games in September alone. In a doubleheader against Brooklyn Dizzy pitched a one-hit shutout in the first game and Paul followed up with a no-hitter in the second prompting Dizzy's famous quote "If I'd a-known you was gonna throw a no-hitter I'd a-throwed one too!" A Dean brother went on to win all four World Series games each brother responsible for two. Their performances in 1934 are among the greatest in baseball history. The Dean brothers' popularity swelled throughout the season and endorsements piled up. Among them was this - an enormous full-color cardboard display featuring the Dean Brothers' endorsement of Lorillard's Beech-Nut chewing tobacco. Its popularity and desirability among collectors of sports advertising displays is almost without parallel; it remains one of the most highly sought-after displays in the entire hobby. It is also quite rare in any condition. Similar to the Union-Leader tobacco display we featured in a 2019 auction this example is not as rare but equally desirable and in many ways more attractive. The piece is enormous measuring 31" across at its widest by 42" in height. Obviously the piece exhibits quite a bit of wear throughout including creasing staining foxing and tears throughout. The image of Paul Dean has lost quite a bit of its color and the entire piece does exhibit fading perhaps from being displayed in a window. A portion of the top left edge has been torn away and is lost to time and the printed paper display has in places peeled away from its cardboard backing. Along the bottom of the piece a large area of the paper has torn away and additional areas have begun to peel or chip off as well. A large notch ap
