Offered is a terrific complete set hand-cut from 1952 Wheaties boxes. The sixty card series features an anomalous collection of diverse sports and gender, including several LPGA stars and a female skier card. Displaying only thirty different subjects in two separate poses (a portrait and an action shot), this set includes baseball (10 players, 20 cards), football (6 players, 12 cards), basketball (3 players), golf (3 men, 3 women) and five other subjects (a bowler, a skier, a tennis player and two divers). The set is difficult to complete due to the scarcity of the lesser subjects, this set is complete and (11) cards graded by PSA. These 2” x 2 ¾” beauties appeared on the back of the popular Wheaties cereal boxes throughout 1952. Each player is listed with the card conditions in parentheses (portrait, action).
