Item Description
2.675x3.25". This set was issued one per box on the backs of various Royal Dessert products over a period of three years. The basic set contains 24 players, however a number of variations create the much higher total for the set. In 1950, Royal issued cards with two different tints - black and white with red, or blue and white with red. Over the next two years, various sentences of the cards' biographies were updated; up to three times in some cases. Some players from the set left the majors after 1950 and others were apparently never updated, but the 23 biography updates that do exist, added to the original 24 cards issued in 1950, give the set a total of 47 cards. Cards are blank-backed with personal and playing biographies alongside the card front photos. Some sample cards can be found with advertising for the desserts on back; they are valued at about double regular card prices.

Pee Wee Reese began his Major League Baseball career in 1940 with the Brooklyn Dodgers and would spend his entire 16 year career with the franchise. Reese was known for his consistent defense and was a 10 time National League all-star and finished in the top 10 in National League MVP voting on eight different occasions. Reese would finish with a career batting average of .269 along with 126 homers and 885 RBI's and was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984.
