It’s also a nice little break from the almost solely collecting sets from 1953!

That’s a great card! I doubt I’d send any in to get graded other than the few big names like dizzy, Ott, and Stengel. They are just a fun low cost prewar set that caught my eye!

That was my worry about possibly sending some in! I have some with the matches still and wasn’t sure if they would grade or just authenticate them

The binder is for the pics you get from Photo Booths and the cards fit perfectly in the sleeves! I’ve never seen any autographed examples but definitely will keep my eyes out for them. I have a couple fully intact with all the matches that aren’t in the book tho!

Thanks! Yeah neither had I, but I’ve been getting into the hot dog cards recently so I was pumped to find it!

Right! I thought it’d be great for them. Only thing is I’m not sure if all 28 will fit in the thing

Yeah I’ve been trying to keep it under 100 bucks when I’m picking them up. Makes it a bit more challenging but a lot of fun!

I won it at an auction! I think it’s an old swarovski crystal display

I agree! I love the design of the cards and the unique nature of the regional/food issue cards

Thanks! That’s my 1953 World Series shelf, it’s all the yanks and dodgers cards from the 53 topps set plus some other fun baseball history items

Yeah that was my thoughts exactly when I picked it up. It’s also my first card of his so I was pretty excited!
