Incredibly rare complete 1950 Bread For Health Basketball set of 32 cards featuring all the leading stars of the fledgling National Basketball Association. Cards were given out as bread end labels used to hold the loaves of bread closed by several different bakeries. Thus the set is extremely condition sensitive considering the way they were originally issued to the public. All 32 of the cards in this collection have been slabbed PSA/Authentic with the many presenting very clean fronts. The following is a list of all the players in the set with our opinion as to condition and any major flaws noted.
