Outstanding midgrade set, assembled card-by-card by a dedicated collector of 1950s sports cards with a particular emphasis on image clarity and color.  With a technical breakdown of approximately 5% EX-MT, 39% EX, 35% VG/EX, and 21% VG, this is a particularly strong set, with the primary condition flaws related to print flaws such as centering and roller lines, with some honest corner wear a result of handling over the years.  12 of the cards have been graded, by several different companies, as follows: #6 Feller (PSA EX 5), #19 Spahn (SGC EX 5), #22 Robinson (PSA EX 5), #32 Roberts (PSA VG-EX 4), #33 Kiner (PSA EX 5), #46 Berra (PSA EX 5), #75 Campanella (SGC EX 5), #77 Snider (PSA EX 5), #84 Ashburn (SGC VG/EX+ 4.5), #98 Williams (GAI EX+ 5.5), #217 Stengel (SGC VG/EX 4), #220 Durocher (SGC EX/NM 6).

The remaining keys grade as follows: #11 Rizzuto (VG/EX), #21 Reese (VG/EX), #35 Slaughter (EX), #39 Doby (VG), #43 Doerr (VG), #94 Boudreau (EX), #112 Hodges (VG), #139 Mize (EX), #149 Wynn (VG/EX).  An exceptional midgrade example of the last mainstream set issued before Topps and Bowman began increasing their card sizes and designs. 252 cards total.
