"Bucky Harris is a business associate of Al Rosen, Ed Mathews, Robin Roberts, Yogi Berra, Ed Lopat, Monte Irvin and Specs Toporcer. Their pictures appear on cans of Mascot dog food and they get a slice of the sales."
That's it! Sure would be great if those guys were on the remaining cards in the set!

Cool find, I would love to have one of the Ed Mathews ones in my collection.
