The regional issues I like best are the waxy Briggs, Esskay & Hunter meats cards that were intended to be cut off of the packages that contained hot dogs and other processed meat products. The first Briggs example below is not mine (I wish it were!), but the second is one of my pride and joys ( got the autographs at shows about 25 years ago).

I don't think you could overuse such an awesome photo.

Brett, ol' Teddy Ballgame could still hit .300 swinging a frankfurter.

As a Braves fan, I have to go with the '54 Johnston Cookies set as my favorite. But the '54 Wilson Franks set isn't far behind. That Williams card is simply divine, and I will own one, though a nice one will cost me a kidney.

The '54 Wilson Franks set actually has a really nice checklist. Only 20 cards, but Williams, Gil Hodges, Bob Feller, Nellie Fox, Roy Campanella, and a criminally underrated Vern Stephens...lots of star power in it. And, for Milwaukee baseball fans, a handful of players with a Beer Town connection: Harvey Kuenn, Red Schoendienst, and Brave Andy Pafko.

But the Johnston Cookies set trumps it. I mean, Hank Aaron's rookie card alone makes gives it "king of the mountain" status against all comers, imho.

BTW, Jerry, beautiful example of the '54 Williams you have there.

Thank you for your kind words. I just have always loved this set since I've seen it and was the most enjoyable to put together.

Default Morrell meats
Is it me or is photography on the Morrell meats sets as nice as 53 Bowman?

Just picked up '60 Koufax. Also have the 1959 Dodgers team postcard that uses the same picture as the '61 Morrell meats Koufax (which I unfortunately don't own)
