2.5x3.5". The 1961 Nu-Card Baseball Scoops set consists of 80 cards. Card fronts mimicked a two deck, red-lettered newspaper"headlines" bolstered by black-and-white photographs of the game's heroes and superstars past and present, including Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb and Cy Young, plus lesser-known players such as Mickey Owen and Fred Snodgrass. The fronts also displayed the title "Baseball Scoops" with the banner repeated on the reverse, along with the card's number and an "Extra" box. The first few words of the headline were followed by a two- or three-paragraph story, recounting the particular incident, record or milestone.

Warren Edward Spahn was an American professional baseball pitcher who played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). A left-handed pitcher, Spahn played in 1942 and then from 1946 until 1965, most notably for the Boston Braves, who became the Milwaukee Braves after the team moved west before the 1953 season. His baseball career was interrupted by his military service in the United States Army during World War II. A few of his many career accomplishments include being a 17 time All-Star, a Cy Young Award and World Series Champion in 1957, led the NL in strikeouts four times and threw two career No-Hitters. Warren Spahn was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1973. The autograph on this card is bold with decent placement at the top of the card. This signed copy is one of only three examples graded by PSA as well as being the highest graded.
