#23 CANDY CUMMINGS, Hartford Dark Blues ~ Shakeys Pizza HOF/Baseball's Immortals

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist . . . #23 - William A. "Candy" Cummings, Hartford Dark Blues, New York Mutuals, Baltimore Canaries & Philadelphia Whites (1871-1876 National Association) & Cincinnati Reds (National League) Shakey's Pizza "Baseball's Immortals" From 1976 to 1978, five Seattle-area Shakey's Pizza restaurants underwrote the production and redemption of a large 150+ card set which pictured (to that date) every member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Originally, 2,000 prints of each card were produced but due to an accounting error (as well as normal attrition) it is estimated that fewer than 1,500 of each survive today. Each card features a red, white and blue color scheme (front side) with black and white photograph. (Photographs were provided by Chicago area photo seller Jim Rowe and contain a number of great images originally shot by Burke, Brace and others.) The backs are in red and black on white, feature indepth word snapshots, and the cards are approximately standard 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" size. In an unusual move, the cards were issued skip-numbered in four series: Baseball's Hall of Fame (series 1), Baseball's Greatest Players (series 2), Baseball's Immortals (series 3), and Baseball's All-Time Greats (series 4). The cards are numbered in order of induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame (i.e. Ty Cobb #1, Babe Ruth #2, etc.). These scarce regional cards fit perfectly within the collections of team and type card collectors.
