Description: Offered for your consideration is...#4 Aloysius Harry (Bucketfoot) Simmons, Chicago White Sox (American League)Condition: Excellent-Plus/Near MintIn 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 Al Simmons).Collecting Tip: These larger cards fit comfortably in standard 2-pocket sheets (designed for 5" by 7" photos and cards).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 of the same player. Also, the information on the backs differs._______________________ Important: Shipping Information A goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
