Issued by Shopsy's deli in
Toronto, this 23-card set consisted solely of Toronto Maple Leafs players from baseball's International League. While there are multiple Major League players
included in the set - both former and future - the most famous and successful, by far, is Hall of Famer George "Sparky"
Anderson. The set is
incredibly scarce, with PSA and SGC having graded a total of 45 individual examples
combined.
Presented here is a near-complete, ungraded set of twenty-two (22) of the twenty-three cards from the 1960 Shopsy's Frankfurters set. The only card missing from the set is that of Ron Negray. Cards range in grade from Good to VG-EX.
Included:
Al Cicotte, Allen Jones, Archie Wilson, Bill Moran, Bill Smith, Bob Chakales, Bob Smith, Don Dillard, Earl Hersh, Frank Funk, George "Sparky" Anderson (HOF), Herb Plews, Jack Kubiszyn, Jack Waters, Jim King, Mel McGaha, Pat Scantlebury, Rip Coleman, Russ Heman, Steve Demeter, Steve Ridzik, and Tim Thompson
22 cards total.
