Titled "Hit Parade of Champions" on the reverse, the 1952 Berk Ross set is the only collection to feature both generations of famed New York Yankee centerfielders, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle, in the same series. Not only does the set contain Joe's last regular issue and one of "The Mick's" first, it also includes such stars of the day as Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Stan Musial, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto, Bob Feller, Duke Snider, and Pee Wee Reese, among many others. This complete set is 35% NM or better, 45% EX/MT, 10% EX and 10% lower with 14 key cards, including Mantle (PSA 6), graded by PSA: PSA 7 - DiMaggio, Martin, Mize, Musial, Newcombe, J. Robinson (MC) and T. Williams (OC). PSA 6 - Berra, Feller, Lemon, Roberts and Snider. Mays is graded PSA 1 due to staple holes but has the eye appeal of NM (OC). Other key cards are Ashburn EX/MT, Campanella EX, Fox NM, Hodges EX (MC), Kiner EX/MT (OC), Reese NM, Rizzuto (bunting) VG/EX and Rizzuto (swinging) EX/MT (OC).
