Good, 11 cards including #145 Mize, 156 Spahn, 162 Irvin and 252 Crosetti. A word about the Mantle card: You’re likely to find Mantle cards graded ex or even ex-m that are less attractive than the Mantle in this set, which we have graded vg-ex. The centering of this card is within a hair’s width or two of perfection. The colors are bright, and the card is free of printing imperfections except for a pencil-point-sized dot on Mantle’s hat. The corners are consistent with at least an ex-m card. The card has a small crease in the lower left corner, and there are several tiny indentations in the upper right visible only when the card is held at the correct angle to light. There is a minor wax stain on the back. If you’re a collector, you’ll like this set.

Lot 5. Scarce 1949 Eureka Sportstamp Near Set of 199 in the Original Album. Only Ford Frick is missing. The cover of this “National League Edition” album has an ex appearance. The Scranton, Pa., company never produced an American League album. In general, the stamps are neatly glued in place. The Elbie Fletcher stamp is stained, and so is the obverse of the page containing it. Clearly, the album belonged to a young collector, who made pencil notations on most of the pages. These notations have been erased; impressions from the writing remain. The album contains solid stamps of such stars as Warren Spahn, Pee Wee Reese, Ralph Kiner, Stan Musial, Leo Durocher, Ted Kluszewski, Johnny Mize, Richie Ashburn, Joe Garagiola, Enos Slaughter and Red Schoendienst. It also contains rookie stamps of Don Newcombe, Johnny Antonelli, Roy Campanella, Robin Roberts, Gil Hodges, Duke Snider and Jackie Robinson.
