#131 SANDY KOUFAX, Dodgers ~ 1976 Shakeys Pizza Baseball's Hall of Fame TrimmedB

Description: Periodically we experience problems with our scanner. Today is one of those days. Depending upon which view you choose, the first scan will show horizontal lines and/or cross hatching marks. Rest assured, these are not on the card itself. Usually scanning problems are confined to color pictures but today it's "advanced" to black and white! (You will note that the second scan (reverse side of the card) exhibits none of these problems.)Offered for your consideration is...#131 - SANFORD KOUFAX ~ Brooklyn & Los Angeles DodgersShakey's Pizza "Baseball's Hall of Fame" Series 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 three decades of 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.).ANY number of single cards (up to and including 8X10 inches in size) will ship for the one single-card USPS Ground Advantage shipping rate IF the buyer will request and wait for a combined invoice before paying. Questions? Email us.Condition: Trimmed (card has been trimmed at bottom and is about 1/16" short of the standard 3-1/2" length) - check the high-resolution scans; this is the actual card the buyer will receive.Postscript: Our last scan has nothing to do with this listing. It is a picture of all-time baseball great Ted Williams with The Baseball Hobbyist's Steve Mitchell at a 1983 Connecticut sports collectors gathering - Ted's very first-ever collector event. On the second day of the show "The Splendid Splinter" visited with collectors and dealers and graciously posed for this photo. (Photo was taken by fellow collector-dealer Bob Thing, longtime Maine hobbyist)._______________________Important: Shipping Information Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
