Red Man Tobacco cards are far rarer than most 1950s baseball cards. Because of their tabs (which were designed to be cut) and method of issue, they often have condition problems. Many consider them to represent one of the best values of all cards from the era. Total: 50 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
