Wisconsin's Lake To Lake Dairy

Wisconsin's Lake To Lake Dairy produced two trading card sets in the early 1960s, both of which have since found a place in the hearts of collectors. Although the cards are considered crude by modern standards, both the 1960 Lake To Lake baseball set and the 1961 football set produced noteworthy items.

The Lake To Lake baseball set featured the Milwaukee (now Atlanta) Braves, and contained an early card for Hank Aaron, depicting the rising young star 15 years before he broke Babe Ruth's home run record. The football set featured players for Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers.
