Issued on the back panels of boxes of "Baseball Bats" candy, the cards from this issue are extremely rare - with a checklist of just 50 cards. Three different designs of cards from the set are known to exist, featuring either orange or white borders, and with a red or grey background. The third, more recently-discovered type is a black and white card with no color whatsoever.

This offering is a hand cut version of the Eddie Cicotte example. Though the card has been graded PR 1 by SGC, the rarity of these cards is such that one cannot consider numerical grade when making a purchase. The primary reason for the grade, of course, is writing on the front of the card.  An extremely rare and desirable card type.
