#A EARL AVERILL, Indians ~ 1977 Shakeys Pizza WASSCA Superstars red border NM

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . 1977 Seattle-Area Shakey's Pizza *WASSCA Superstars: #A - EARL AVERILL, Cleveland Indians Single card from 1977 set featuring *WASSCA's Convention Superstars *WASSCA (Washington State Sports Collectors Association) first distributed this card at WASSCA's 1977 sports collectors convention. Three players (Earl Averill, Johnny Mize and "Indian Bob" Johnson) comprise a full set of the players while a fourth card (consisting of a collage of sports collectibles) advertised WASSCA to prospective members. Earl Averill (1975 Hall of Fame), Johnny Mize (HOF 1981) and Bob Johnson (yet-future (hopefully) Hall of Famer) were show guests at the 1977 WASSCA show. Note: while each of their cards featured blue facsimile signatures, the cards themselves were not signed uniquely by the players. From 1975 to 1977, Seattle-area Shakey's Pizza restaurants underwrote the production and redemption of more than 200 baseball cards. Originally, 2,000 prints of each card were produced but due to an accounting error (as well as normal attrition) it is estimated that fewer than 1,000 of each these red border cards survive today. This card features a red, white and blue color scheme (front side) with black and white photograph. Photographs were provided by Chicago area photo seller, the late Jim Rowe, and contain a number of great images originally shot by George Burke, George Brace and others. The back is red and black ink on white, features brief word snapshots and seasonal best statistics. Shakey's logo and a list of the 5 Seattle-area locations complete the reverse. The card size is 2-1/4" by 3" - slightly smaller than today's standard card.
