Red Schoendienst



Where purchased: eBay

Condition: Excellent. A few tiny little black specks on the front of the card appear to be part of the printing process.

Comments: That's all folks, 33 of 33 cards.

Enos Slaughter



Where purchased: eBay

Condition: Excellent. One of the best cards in the set.

Comments: A very nice-looking card. He looks kinda young in the photo, even though he was a 13-year veteran in 1954.

Ferris Fain


Where purchased: eBay

Condition: Very good. If you look real close, there are a few pinholes – too bad.

Nelson Fox




Where purchased: eBay

Condition: Very good. A nice-looking card with a few rounded corners, especially the bottom-left.

Comments: The back of the card says his nickname "Nellie" is not meant to be feminine. That's an odd thing to have on the back of one's card.
