These 8.5" x 11" premiums were distributed by the short-lived Baseball Monthly, which was edited and published by the great Bert Sugar. The magazine sadly folded after only four issues (March, April, May, and June of 1962), though not before issuing these reddish sepia premiums which were printed on thin stock with blank backs. Though some of the players included in the full set of 89 were from earlier times, most of them were contemporary players in 1962. Impressively, 43 of the 89 players included in the set are members of the Hall of Fame. Presented here is a collection of 45 ungraded premiums with condition ranging mostly from VG-EX to EX+. 45 premiums total, representing over 60% of the set. Players included: Joe Adcock, Richie Ashburn, Earl Battey, Steve Barber, Jim Bunning, Roy Campanella, Norm Cash, Ty Cobb, Bennie Daniels, Ryne Duren (2 - one w/staining on reverse), Roy Face, Nellie Fox, Bob Friend, Lou Gehrig, Jim Gentile, Dick Groat, Ron Hansen, Dick Howser, Joey Jay, Jack Jensen, Walter Johnson, Sandy Koufax, Jim Landis, Dale Long, Jerry Lumpe, Art Mahaffey, Frank Malzone, Christy Mathewson, Minnie Minoso, Wally Moon, Charley Neal, Camilo Pascual, Albie Pearson, Vada Pinson, Frank Robinson, Pete Runnels, Ron Santo, Norm Siebern, Roy Sievers, Dick Stuart, Lee Thomas, Honus Wagner, Bill White, Early Wynn.
