1933-1983 GIANTsize (4.5"x 6') Marketcom Conlon: #33 WALLY BERGER, Boston Braves

Description

Offered for your consideration is...
#33 Walter Antone (Wally) Berger,  Boston Braves NL
Condition: Near Mint-Mint
In 1983 a unique set of baseball cards honoring the 50th anniversary of major league baseball's All-Star Game was published featuring the key men of that year - 1933. Included were the top 18 batters and outstanding 6 pitchers of each league. The cards were issued by Marketcom, Inc., under its Baseball Americana banner as part of
The Sporting News
Conlon Collection. Each card was made from a 4x5 glass negative of baseball's premier photographer - Charles Martin Conlon. The card biographical writing,
which is without peer
, was authored by Paul MacFarlane,
The Sporting News
historian. The cards are a giant size (4-1/2" by 6-1/8") format in beautiful sepia and include the player's facsimile autograph: stellar ingredients all!
The card offered is the
larger
card
. For contrast purposes we have shown a standard 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" Conlon Collection card (also of Wally Berger from the 1988 Conlon Collection 1933
Sporting News
All-Stars set).
For variation collectors it should be noted that several of these giant-size Conlons feature different photos than the standard-size edition issued 5 years later. For the record, this card is a different pose - as can be seen in the examples.
