The fledgling Baltimore Orioles were the toast of “Charm City” upon entering the city after a decades-long absence. The offered 1954 Esskay Hot Dogs Baltimore Orioles near set of (30/34) cards memorializes the beloved squad. This mixed grade edition is quite scarce and one of the most complete of such from the regional issue extant. A total of 73% display traces of orange advertising bordering. The overall approximate condition breakdown is as follows: 20% (VG or better), 50% (GD) and 30% (FR or lesser) with 10% displaying reverse writing. Missing only Berry, Heard, Kokos and Newsom for completion.
