Cleveland appears on some of the most engaging regional sets of this era, including this Num Num Foods issue of large, paper-thin premiums offered throughout the 1952 season in that metro area.

Gromek joined teammate Lou Brissie as one of Cleveland's key relievers for their "Big Four" starters : Bob Feller, Early Wynn, Mike Garcia, and Bob Lemon. It would take a 1953 move to Detroit for Steve to get regular starting duties again.

This PSA EX 5 reflects strong edges, surfaces, and the fact that it still has its tab. The population report shows 15 complete Gromek premiums graded and just five higher!
