Inspire me, boys! Show me your '54 Wilson Franks
I saw Jerry's '54 Splendid Splinter in the regional sets discussion, and it piqued a desire to see some more cards that you guys own. I have none (yet), but oh yes, that card will be mine! In fact, this is a set I'd very much like to work on. It would be quite costly, understandably (even a low grade example of Williams easily commands a few thousand bucks), but at only twenty cards in the set, I think it's doable over time. Maybe built a low condition set, and then upgrade as I go.
I found this nifty picture of an uncut sheet, which represents the entire set. This is absolutely drool-worthy, and should inspire the presentation of some real beauties.  Picture courtesy of Sports Collectors Daily Bring forth the cardboard!!!!

This issue is just the best -- the colors, player selection, and an improbable pack of wieners on the front. Simply Awesome.
I'll show you mine if you show me yours... cards! just the cards!! L_54003.jpg

Wilson
Very nice Bob. Were the cards actually packed with the dogs ? Were they separated in some way ?
My only football set is a set of 1960 Mayrose Bacon St Louis Football Cardinals. The cards are some kind of laminated product that were packed right with the bacon. I swear on some days you can still almost smell the bacon on those cards

Hot Dogs
I like that Stephens card...looks like the throw is going to sail over his head and the runner will slide in safely.
That is, of course if someone is throwing weiners. I am surprised that no one has said "tossing franks" or floating "Frank's " as it were  My only example in this set is a Feller, already shown and the one I have is in far lesser condition , so I'll spare posting it. I could see myself collecting the HOFers in this set ... They are rather neat. (like Bill mentioned, not right away)

I vote that Gil Hodges is "most likely to get hit in the head unexpectedly by a deranged hot dog vendor."
