#72 RABBIT MARANVILLE, Braves ~ 1976 Shakeys Pizza Hall of Fame scarce regional

Description: Offered for your consideration is... #72 RABBIT MARANVILLE, Boston Braves ~ Shakey's Pizza "Baseball's Hall of Fame" ~ From 1976 to 1978, five Seattle-area Shakey's Pizza restaurants underwrote the production and redemption of a large 150+ card set which pictured (to that date) every member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Originally, 2,000 prints of each card were produced but due to an accounting error (as well as normal attrition) it is estimated that fewer than 1,500 of each survive today. Each card features a red, white and blue color scheme (front side) with black and white photograph. (Photographs were provided by Chicago area photo seller Jim Rowe and contain a number of great images originally shot by Burke, Brace and others.) The backs are in red and black on white, and the cards are approximately standard 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" size. In an unusual move, the cards were issued skip-numbered in four series: Baseball's Hall of Fame (series 1), Baseball's Greatest Players (series 2), Baseball's Immortals (series 3), and Baseball's All-Time Greats (series 4). The cards are numbered in order of induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame (i.e. Ty Cobb #1, Babe Ruth #2, etc.). Nice Near Mint to Mint condition ANY NUMBER of single cards (up to and including 8X10 inches in size) will ship for the one single card USPS Ground Advantage cost IF the buyer will request and wait for a combined invoice before paying. eBay Standard Envelope is also an option for qualifying orders.

Our primary objective is to sell cards and other things of interest to baseball hobbyists - not make money by overcharging on shipping. If you ever believe you are being overcharged on shipping, please email us and we will double-check the facts of the matter. Thank you! U.S. residents: We combine multiple items purchased so you pay only the shipping on the heaviest item - all other items ship free of charge. (An exception would be if an item must be sent via media/book rate.) All Other Countries: Email us first. Many listings indicate shipment to U.S. & Canada only, but we actually ship worldwide. To receive your combined shipping, please wait for us to send you a combined invoice. The eBay checkout system usually displays an incorrect shipping charge. (It is normally too high.) Please do not pay for each item separately; if you pay separately, there is no shipping discount. We pack your order carefully - sandwiching cards between cardboard and utilizing boxes, bubble wrap, etc., as necessary - to ensure your items arrive in the condition you expect. Items are shipped the next business day. We ship 5 - usually 6 - days each week. One final note: In 2011 the USPS significantly changed its fees for lighter items - effectively raising all small packages weighing 0.1 to 3.0 ounces to the 3.0 ounce rate! Also in 2011, eBay sellers' fees were lowered by 1% but shipping charges were assessed a new 11% fee. Given those significant changes, a shipping charge of $2 for smaller items (as of July 2011) costs us $1.75 for shipping plus $.22 (eBay shipping fee) for a total of $1.97 - leaving $.03 to cover shipping materials. As buyers ourselves we understand these added costs must be paid, so we try to lessen the burden for our customers by extending a generous combined shipping policy (outlined above). Payment should be made within 7 days after notification of purchase. ~ The Baseball Hobbyist and Gram invite you to visit their eBay Store ~ Powered by eBay Turbo Lister FOREIGN ORDERS: We will ship worldwide; please contact us with a list of item(s) desired and we will provide the exact shipping charge.
