Description: Description: After two-thirds of a century, 26 of the 35 original photographs used from one of the most popular regional baseball cards sets of all-time, were discovered this month! Hidden away from the hobby for more than six decades, this find is incredibly important in that it features the earliest piece of original art and the first photograph known for any baseball card of Lew Burdette. This strong Near Good condition black and white image is 4 inches by 5 inches and is a glossy photograph of the 1957 World Series Three Game Winner during his second Spring Training with the Milwaukee Braves.The original image was expertly colorized for the baseball card set. It is also noteworthy that the picture shows much more than the card and includes such a great amount of detail including players in the background. The backdrop is home plate stands from Braves Stadium in Bradenton, Florida, where the Milwaukee Braves played their Spring Training Baseball in 1955. The three year run of Johnston Cookies & Cracker baseball cards in 1953, 1954, and 1955 became one of the most sought after as well as expensive regional baseball card issues of all-time. Just this year, the second highest price ever paid for a 1955 Johnson Cookies #44 Hank Aaron in PSA 9 was recorded.Important Facts: Everything ships fast and free with insurance as well as tracking.
