Default Four Mascot Dog Food Baseball Cards Come to Market! Inc. Yogi Berra Iconic Pose!

Little was known about the early 1950s Mascot Dog Food Cards until a few years ago, when the first Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra cards were discovered! Since then, a few more cards were found from the set and the checklist was determined - and PSA started grading the few originals in circulation. This new grouping of four cards was discovered in a Philadelphia area collection of sports cards and are up for bidding at Wheatland Auction Services. The four new-to-market Mascot cards include:
• The 4th known example of Yogi Berra
• The 2nd known example of Bucky Harris
• The 3rd known example of Don Newcombe
• The 3rd known example of Gil Hodges

The Mascot Dog Food cards are in auction that ends February 20th: https://www.wheatlandauctionservices.com/catalog.aspx

Sometimes I wish I could have been born a couple decades earlier just so I could have collected all the early 1950s regional sets in real time. To me, that era seems like the Golden Age of baseball cards. The biggest mystery to me about this set is: why in the world was Spec Torporcer included?

Back when I was researching the Mascot Dog Food company a few years ago, I remember coming across a story of a few of the players investing in the Mascot Dog Food company - and I believe Spec Torporcer and Bucky Harris were involved. Spec ended up going blind in both eyes - He went blind in his second eye in the early 1950s when he was managing in Buffalo Bisons, which was around the same time of the Dog Food card production. Spec was pretty well known in his day. In 1944, Toporcer wrote an autobiography, "Baseball – From Backlots to Big Leagues", still considered one of the best manuals of instruction for coaches and young players. His life story was featured in a network TV show in which he played the lead.
