The 1934 Butterfinger premium was way ahead of its time. Measuring about 7 3/4" x 9 1/2" were the black-and-white premiums honoring baseball's best of that time period. What makes these stand out is that each has a facsimile of the featured subject.
Leading the way were Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig along with Jimmy Foxx, Joe Cronin among others. We are pleased to have 25 oversized premiums from that set. Most are EX to EX/MT with slight wear.
Included are: Charlie Gehringer, Lefty Grove, Al Simmons, Earl Averill, Waite Hoyt, Dizzy Dean (stain left side), Mickey Cochrane, Bill Dickey, Oscar Melillo, Ben Chapman, Paul Waner, Chick Hafey, Jim Jordan, Joe Mowrey, Joe Morrissey (stain and rip on right corner), Lefty Gomez, Jim Bottomley, Hal Lee, Owen Carroll (slight rip in middle), Earl Whitehill, Joe Cronin, Ed Holley, Gehrig (EX/MT), Foxx ( EX/MT) and last, but never least, Ruth (EX/MT). 9223
