The text reads,
"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 Jason! Thanks for the help!!!!

Don't ya hate it when you find something that you need which you previously didn't know existed? As a type or player collector it sucks

Yes and no; gives me something to shoot for. I've been looking for a National Tea Rosen label for many years. Gonna be that much more fun when I find one.

The auction says only Mantle that exists. Hasn't Larry confirmed that there is another?
