Default Come on guys...

As many oddball collectors as there are here someone has to know if any of the labels are harder to find than others.... I recently picked up an example and have only seen one like it in all th lots I could find through a google search.

Thanks
Travis

Travis, Ralph Branca must be a relatively tough one, based on what this example just sold for on eBay this evening: http://www.ebay.com/itm/370811360668...9#ht_126wt_933

I bid on this Tip Top - Branca for a friend who doesn't do computers, and we got blown out of the water!

Val,

That's for the response. According to that he does seem pretty tough. I bought a Pafko at the strongsville show and have only found one in all the lots in auctions and previous auctions...

Description:
Collection of fifteen bread labels from the 1952 "Tip Top Bread" set, including the important Mickey Mantle. Designed to be applied to loaves of their namesake bread, labels from this series are naturally rare (having been issued only one label per loaf of bread) and often found with numerous condition issues. Each label measures 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" (designed with die-cut corners) with the player image, name, and team inside of a star against a bright red background. The backs are blank and are almost always found with remnants of the bread packaging still affixed. While the labels in this collection are technically low grade for this reason, the labels present well throughout, with the typical wrinkling and minor tears visible but not overwhelming. The Mickey Mantle label (which is a significant early Mantle rarity) has been repaired with tape across the front. The collection consists of the following: Ralph Branca, Roy Campanella, Phil Cavarretta, Ned Garver, Sid Gordon, Eddie Joost, Whitey Lockman, Sal Maglie, Mickey Mantle, Dale Mitchell, Bob Porterfield, Ray Scarborough, Dick Sisler, Vern Stephens, and Eddie Yost. Complete sets of the bread labels do not often come up for sale, so this collection presents a nice opportunity to acquire nearly one-third of a complete set, including the key label in Mickey Mantle. Also included: 1951 Fischer's "Bread For Energy" Labels (3 labels): Gil Hodges, Ted Kluszewski, and Jim Konstanty. These labels, similar in nature to the Tip Top labels, feature a player image and a box with name, team, and key figures against a solid background. The Fischer company's motto, "Bread For Energy," is along the bottom border of the labels, which measure 2-3/4" square. While technically low-grade due to packaging remnants on the reverse, these labels are also still very presentable with only minor wrinkling and tears present. Total: 18 bread labels. Reserve $500. Estimate (open).

Thanks Larry and Chris, I searched Bread, and Tip Top, and this auction didn't appear on either search. Those are exceptionally nice bread labels. Randy
