Presented is a really nice array of cards from one of the great regional issues from the 1950s, the charming 1954-57 Spic and Span cards that were issued by an area dry cleaner and part of a decades-long celebration of the newly-arrived Braves in the Midwest. The offered group includes a complete set of the 1954 Postcard Series, the 4-by-6-inch black-and-white cards that are found here in an outstanding largely Near-Mint or better condition, with bright, sharp photography and exceptionally clean card backs. The second element of the lot, the 1957 partial set, features 12 of the 20 cards in the set, with a wee bit of duplication (noted below) and with the 4-by-5-inch cards essentially Ex-Mt to Near-Mint. The breakdown (14): Near-Mint (6) – Adcock, Bruton, Buhl, Burdette, Crone and Mathews; Ex-Mt (7) – Aaron (Ex-Mt-Plus), Conley, Crone, Haney, Logan and Pafko (2); and Excellent – Thomson.
1954 and 1957 Spic and Span Milwaukee Brewers Set and Partial Set (32)
