Here’s a wonderful artifact from more than 60 years ago, a pristine complete set of the elegant Nicholas Volpe artwork featuring the fledgling Minnesota Twins. His instantly recognizable style was put to good effect here, producing his distinctive pastel-on-black art board classics that collectors will recall from similar sets done with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The offered complete set is still in its original cellophane packaging and thus presumably as issued and problem free, the 8 ½-by-11-inch cards feature Volpe’s artwork with large portrait and smaller in-action rendering on the front and player biography and statistics on the back. The lineup includes Hall of Famers Harmon Killebrew and Jim Kaat, along with Allen, Allison, Banks, Battey, Dailey, Goryl, Hall, Mele, Mincher, Moore, Pascual, Perry, Pleis, Power, Roggenburk, Roland, Rollins, Stange, Stigman, Versalles and Zimmerman.
