(LOT 1713)
1985-1997 Perez Steele Great Moments Set with 64/107 Signed with Matching Serial #s MLI LOA
The 1985-1997 Perez-Steele Great Moments series is comprised of 107 cards, which were released in nine series of 12 cards. Unfortunately, a few dozen players had passed away prior to the set's release, so immortals like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Jackie Robinson, and Roberto Clemente never had an opportunity to sign their cards. Sports artist, Dick Perez was a fan of the 1911 T3 Turkey Red Cabinet cards and he decided to model the Great Moments set after that issue. Measuring 5-3/4" x 8" each, these cards were produced on textured cardboard.
