Just before Topps took control of the baseball card world in 1952, the Berk Ross company issued this 72-card set featuring icons from various sports, 40 of which were baseball players. Presented is a complete set of the eclectic 1951 Berk Ross "Hit Parade of Champions." The offered group is completely PSA-graded and in its original 2-card panel form, a much more difficult acquisition than the common single panels. Key cards to the set include panels featuring Phil Rizzuto (PSA 7), Stan Musial (PSA 7), Yogi Berra (PSA 6), Joe DiMaggio (NM 7), and Whitey Ford (PSA 7). The complete set breaks down as follows - PSA 8 NM/MT (4 panels): 1-14 (OC), 1-17 (OC), 2-17 (OC), and 4-10. PSA 7 NM (20 panels): 1-1, 1-5, 1-6 (OC), 1-9, 1-10, 1-13, 2-1, 2-5, 2-9, 2-10, 2-14, 3-1, 3-2, 3-5, 3-6, 3-9, 3-10, 3-14, 4-5, and 4-9. PSA 6.5 EX/MT+ (1 panel): 4-13. PSA 6 EX/MT (6 panels): 2-2, 2-6, 2-13, 3-17, 4-6, and 4-17. PSA 5.5 EX+ (2 panels): 4-2 and 4-14. PSA 5 EX (3 panels): 1-2, 3-13, and 4-1.
