1951 Berk Ross Set Revisited: The Set had some Football Cards in It! |
If you were lucky enough to have 40 cents in your pocket back in 1951 in the New York area, you would have been able to purchase the complete set of the Berk Ross Cos. “Hit Parade of Champions” sport cards. Today, it would cost you $400.00 or more to buy the set.
Berk Ross, based out of New York, NY, tossed its hat in the sports card marketing field with this beautifully colored tinted set of 72 cards in 1951. The cards were issued in four separate series and sold in pairs housed in a neat little box that the revealed the top two cards.
