In 1959 my father bought a American Motors Rambler....at that time they were sponsoring the TV show Home Run Derby....the dealer gave me 20 complete set....in 1968 I wrote about the set in the Ball Card Collector and was swamped with trade offers.....traded 19 of the sets....kept one set until stopping collecting in 1980....wish I had those 20 sets today

Even though it is in black & white, IMHO this is one of the best looking post-War sets, especially when the cards are in nice condition.

Same. They are great looking cards. Here is a picture of my set. In retrospect, I wish I had kept the thing. But, I do have a nice PSA 2 Mantle left over.

They're pretty tough. Most Nationals you will see a handful available and there are usually a few on eBay. Beware the reprints: they are everywhere. I wouldn't think of buying even a low grade one that isn't slabbed.
