1953 Brown & Bigelow Playing Card Decks (7 sets)
GO FISH FOR THESE!!!... For more than 120 years, the Brown & Bigelow Promotional Products company has been providing knick-knacks and company giveaways featuring celebrities, stars and athletes. Among the gallery of items and very familiar offerings were the numerous playing card sets. Presented here is a collection of seven 1940s & ‘50s Brown & Bigelow playing card sets featuring Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Connie Mack, John McGraw and Honus Wagner. Most of these sets are offered in their original promotional boxes and packaging with some of the original cellophane wrapping compromised or slightly separated. Six of the sets are still wrapped in cello with one "Connie Mack" set opened, though in MINT condition. All sets, in fact appear in MINT to GEM MINT condition and are well worthy of some serious attention. This is an amazing array of 1950s baseball themed playing card sets.
