Kahn's maker of the "Wiener the World Awaited" was the hobby's most prolific producer of regional card sets from 1955 to 1969. This astounding complete set from 1965 represents their most ambitious series as it featured 45 different ballplayers from the Pittsburgh Cleveland Cincinnati and Milwaukee clubs. The borderless cards measure 3" by 3-1/2" and naturally they are highly susceptible to wear from even the slightest handling. The cumulative excellence of the set presented here is validated by an extraordinary 8.69 GPA which merits "#2 Current Finest" and "#2 All-Time Finest" placement on the PSA Set Registry. The majority of the cards are extremely “low pop” condition examples and many boast "none graded higher" status. Nearly half of the PSA GEM MT 10 specimens are singular "1 of 1" examples ranking as the finest of their types ever evaluated by PSA. Furthermore every card but one has been designated PSA NM-MT 8 or higher with just seventeen items residing at that NM-MT level. The remaining huge majority of the set (64%) rates PSA MINT 9 or finer. Includes: Graded PSA GEM MT 10: 12 cards w/Bolling Clendenon Coleman Ellis Howser Maloney Maye Mazeroski McDowell Nuxhall O'Toole and Tiant; PSA MINT 9: 17 cards w/Alvis Cardenas Carty Cloninger Davalillo Edwards Harper Lemaster Lynch McBean Pagliaroni Robinson Terry Tsitouris Veale Virdon and Wagner; PSA NM-MT 8: 15 cards w/Aaron Azcue Bailey Friend Hinton Jay Johnson Kralick McCool Menke Oliver Pinson Rose Stargell and Torre; PSA NM 7: 1 card McMahon.
