Description

Presented is a near-complete set (minus one) of these popular cards, which were issued one card per bag of Dan-Dee potato chips. Missing only Mantle for completion. Dan-Dees are usually found with serious condition problems relating to this method of issue, including creases and grease stains. The wax coating on the surface of these cards was intended to protect them from staining. Because these cards were issued primarily in the Pittsburgh and Cleveland areas, it is not surprising the players featured are mostly Pirates and Indians, although the three New York area teams are also represented. Condition is Pr to Fr, with one Vg and two Gd. Keys: Doby (Pr), Feller (Pr), Hodges (Pr), Irvin (uneven top edge due to wear, otherwise Gd), Lemon (Pr), Lopez (Pr), Rizzuto (Pr), Schoendienst (Pr), Snider (Pr due to tack hole), and Wynn (Fr). This is a scarce near-complete set (minus one) of one of the classics of 1950s regional food issues. Total: 28 cards.
