Gum, Inc. created this 240 player set which included many of the great players from the past. The fronts are black & white photos of the player surrounded by an ornate border with their name in it. The backs are numbered and have the player’s bio. Eighty-two of the cards are printed with advertising for the Superman set printed along the bottom of the reverse.
The 2nd series is significantly tougher to find than the 1st series
