Seldom-seen card from an impossibly rare set, one of three different featured in this auction. The cards are so infrequently seen that only 12 have been checklist, despite the cards themselves referring to a 22 card set. Unnumbered cards measure 4 1/2" x 3 3/4" and have blank backs. The cards are so rare that PSA has graded precisely three - the three featured here, all of which we submitted for this auction. SGC has graded just one other.
This example features New Jersey native Bill Glynn, who played four seasons in the big leagues as a first baseman, mostly with Cleveland. By 1957 his career in the majors was over, and he retired after 1959, remaining in San Diego. This example has graded POOR 1 due to surface wear, and although the eye appeal of the card is tremendous for the grade, the issue is rare enough that condition is practically irrelevant.
