The 1950s ushered in the Golden Age of baseball cards, and along with it
came a host of regional issues that captured the attention of
collectors and never let go. Even today, 1950s regional and
non-mainstream issues remain immensely popular among collectors. The
Red Heart Dog Food set of 1954 is among the most widely-collected, due
to its beautiful, simplistic design, its colorful cards and its
incredible player selection. The 33-card set features ten tough single-printed cards and 11
Hall of Famers.
