Some background from PSA: The 1955 Rodeo Meats Athletics baseball set confines itself to the recently relocated Kansas City Athletics and features 38 different players from the historic club. These 2-1/2” by 3-1/2” full color cards display each player portrait centered within a pastel colored background with the subject’s name printed at the bottom of each, next to the red “Rodeo” logo at the bottom left corner. Of the 38 players featured, nine appear in two different variations, identifiable primarily with a different colored background, though some display different photos, for a total of 47 cards. This unnumbered set was distributed by the Rodeo Meat Company and featured an advertisement on the reverse for a scrapbook to house the set. Variations such as Bobby Schantz (Incorrect Spelling), Vic Power (Pink Background) and Cloyd Boyer (Blue Background) as well as Hall of Famer Enos Slaughter anchor this first issuance for the Rodeo Meat Company.
