Well, Carl Aldana has done it once again! He has followed up his attractive 47-card 1950 Sommer & Kaufmann San Francisco Seals set, colorful 73 card set of Seals from the World War II era and 3-card DiMaggio brothers set with several more selected singles, including this one. First Printing This is a first printing offer. Just 50 cards were printed in total. If a subsequent printing is made, there will be distinguishing characteristic(s) so this First Printing will remain special.

It is unnumbered and features a period advertisement for Mother's Cookies printed on the reverse side. Like other Carl Aldana commemorative cards, this one looks magnificent mounted in standard 9-pocket collector pages.About the subject: Eddie Malone was a professional baseball player for 16 seasons including parts of two years at the Big League level, batting .269 in the minors and .257 in the bigs.
