BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Willie Stargell Front Row Signed Limited Edition Set and 1961 Post Cereal Baseball Card Collection Lot of 25+
This auction features a diverse collection of vintage and modern baseball memorabilia, highlighted by a limited edition Willie Stargell tribute set and a significant group of 1961 Post Cereal hand-cut cards. The first component is a Willie Stargell "Front Row All-Time Greats" series set, consisting of five individual cards and an Official Certificate of Authenticity. Notably, one card in this set features a verified blue ink signature from the Pittsburgh Pirates legend. The set is hand-numbered 16762 of 25,000, and further designated as set No. 2 of 100 within the All-Time Great Series. The second component is a substantial collection of 1961 Post Cereal baseball cards. These vintage issues were originally printed on the back of cereal boxes and intended for consumer hand-cutting. The lot includes key players such as Billy Martin (#190), Tony Kubek (#4), Milt Pappas (#34), and Jerry Lynch (#187), along with a wide array of Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees, and Cincinnati Reds players. Each Post card features a player portrait, biographical data, and comprehensive 1960 season and career statistics.
Condition report:
The Willie Stargell Front Row set is in Near Mint to Mint condition; cards are housed in individual protective sleeves and exhibit sharp corners, clean surfaces, and excellent color preservation. The 1961 Post Cereal collection ranges from Fair to Very Good condition. As hand-cut vintage items, the cards feature irregular edges, with some showing the original black dotted cut-lines. Typical vintage wear is present, including softened corners, minor surface marks, and natural age-toning. Several cards feature relatively precise cuts, while others exhibit the jagged borders characteristic of home-cut cereal issues. No significant creasing or heavy staining is observed on the primary card faces.
