Collection of 11 scarce 2 1/4" x 3" 1947 Tip Top Bread cards featuring the New York Yankees. Hall of Famer Phil Rizzuto appears in this group but his card suffers from extreme damage, including a heavy center crease with both paper loss and additional paper stuck the to the reverse. Otherwise, five of the cards exhibit evidence of paper residue on the fronts and heavy damage to the backs. Bobbie Brown's example has "1955" written in ballpoint on the front and the Bill Bevens card may include a signature but we cannot be certain. All cards here grade POOR, with the exception of Byrne, Robinson, and Lindell, which are much nicer and appear to be VG-VG+. Players included: Bill Bevens, Bobbie Brown, Thomas Byrne, Charlie Keller, Mel Queen, Johnny Lindell, Phil Rizzuto (HOF), Allie Reynolds, Aaron Robinson (2, one poor), Stuff Sternweiss
