Complete 25-card example of this popular regional issue featuring members of the Atlanta Braves.  The cards were distributed singly in boxes of cookies, and also as one complete set through a mail-in redemption offer.  This is a particularly clean and attractive set, a sharp, fresh collection.  The primary condition flaw here is centering, as is typical for the issue, with a few corner dings or areas of light handling here and there.  The set grades roughly 16% EX-MT, 32% EX, 32% VG-EX with the balance in the VG-VG+ range.  

We took the liberty of submitting seven cards to PSA, which grade as follows: PSA EX-MT 6 (3 cards): #9 Liddle, #10 Spahn, #19 Ditmer.  PSA EX 5 (3 cards): #5 Burdette, #7 Johnson, #11 Surkont.  PSA VG-EX 4 (1 card): #21 Mathews.  An outstanding example of a popular regional set.  25 cards total.
