Hartland introduced a series of baseball players that were sold very well at the concession stands. These ball players made from plastic that would endure and become the benchmark that all other sports figurines would be compared to. The figurines were approximately 8" high and were made from acetate plastic and were painted with acetate based paint that left no "skin". Thus the figurines were able to keep a very high definition and superior quality. The first group of players introduced were: Eddie Mathews, Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth.
Customers raved about them. They had excellent detail and superb painting qualities. Stylish Warren Spahn is the winningest left-hander in history with 363 victories. Offered here, in his windup pose, a great example of Spahnie" in action. Excellent to near mint condition. Light toning of body, near mint face, uniform, cap, and glove paint. Collection of MEARS staff.
