The red back set presented here is complete at 52 cards, highlighted by stars like: #1 Berra (EX), 22 Feller (NM+), 30 Spahn (NM+), 38 Snider (NM+) and 52 (last card) Holmes (NM+). The blue backs are a partial set (29/52) and include: #1 Yost (NM+), 20 Branca (NM+), 50 Mize (NM+) and 52 (last card) Chapman (NM+).
