1976-1977 Shakeys Pizza HOF Baseball's ALL TIME GREATS Complete 25 card SERIES 4

Description: Periodically we experience problems with our scanner. Today is one of those days. Depending upon which view you choose, the first scan will show horizontal lines and/or cross hatching marks. Rest assured, these are not on the card itself. Usually scanning problems are confined to color pictures but today it's "advanced" to black and white! (You will note that the second scan (reverse side of the card) exhibits none of these problems.)For the Baseball Hobbyist . . .1976-1977 Shakey's Pizza Toughest-to-find SeriesShakey's Pizza BASEBALL'S ALL TIME GREATS ~ Complete 25 card SeriesMickey Mantle ~ Babe Ruth ~ Cy Young ~ Rogers Hornsby ~ Dizzy Dean ~ Rube Waddell ~ Stan Musial ~ Warren Spahn & MORE ...From 1976 to 1978, five Seattle-area Shakey's Pizza restaurants underwrote the production and redemption of a large 150+ card set which pictured (to that date) every member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Originally, 2,000 prints of each card were produced but due to an accounting error (as well as three decades of normal attrition) it is estimated that fewer than 1,500 of each survive today.The series offered here is the 4th and final (and scarcest) of them all. Our price is less than $3.00 per card for some of the greatest players of all-time.Each card features a red, white and blue color scheme (front side) with black and white photograph. (Photographs were provided by Chicago area photo seller Jim Rowe and contain a number of great images originally shot by Burke, Brace and others.)The backs are in red and black on white, and the cards are approximately standard 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" size. In an unusual move, the cards were issued skip-numbered in four series: Baseball's Hall of Fame (series 1), Baseball's Greatest Players (series 2), Baseball's Immortals (series 3), and Baseball's All-Time Greats (series 4). The cards are numbered in order of induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame (i.e. Ty Cobb #1, Babe Ruth #2, etc.).This SERIES includes all 25 cards in the Shakey's Pizza ALL-TIME GREATS Series: #2 Babe Ruth ~ #27 Rogers Hornsby ~ #48 Rube Waddell ~ #62 Paul Waner ~ #63 Dizzy Dean ~ #69 Bobby Wallace ~ #71 Bill Dickey ~ #77 Dazzy Vance ~ #79 Ray Schalk ~ #82 "Wahoo Sam" Crawford ~ #84 Zack Wheat ~ #94 Eppa Rixey ~ #100 Heinie Manush ~ #105 Red Ruffing ~ #106 Branch Rickey ~ #112 Stan "The Man" Musial ~ #119 Dave Bancroft ~ #121 Chick Hafey ~ #123 Joseph Kelley ~ #124 Rube Marquard ~ #134 Ross Youngs ~ #139 Warren Spahn ~ #145 Mickey Mantle ~ #155 Bob LemonWe have most other Shakey's Pizza Hall of Fame card singles as well as All-Time Superstars and West Coast Greats.Condition: Crisp Excellent-Plus/Near-Mint or better Postscript: Our last scan has nothing to do with this listing. It is a picture of all-time baseball great Ted Williams with The Baseball Hobbyist's Steve Mitchell at a 1983 Connecticut sports collectors gathering - Ted's very first-ever collector event. On the second day of the show "The Splendid Splinter" visited with collectors and dealers and graciously posed for this photo. (Photo was taken by fellow collector-dealer Bob Thing, longtime Maine hobbyist)._______________________Important: Shipping Information Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
