1976 SSPC Baseball Trading Cards Complete Set (630/630)

Website baseballcardpedia.com describes the 1976 SSPC baseball card set as such...

"1976 SSPC is a 630-card "collector's issue" released by TCMA. Dubbed the "Pure Card" set, the designed was based loosely on the 1953 Bowman set. The set was available exclusively via mail order and was advertised in the nascent Hobby Media, such as it was in the mid-70s. Despite the cards bearing a 1975 copyright, the set is considered a 1976 set as it was not released until then. SSPC was not licensed by either MLB Properties or the MLBPA, and shortly after its release, was sued by Topps. As part of the settlement, SSPC agreed to never reprint their 1976 set, and to never attempt to produce a similar product ever again."

Offered is a complete set of 1976 SSPC baseball trading cards. Front of each card features a player photo free of text while the reverse of each card contains a short biographical capsule edited by Keith Olbermann, who was still in high school at the time. A double of card #500 depicting Ray Fosse & 1977 Topps #388 depicting Terry Harmon of the Philadelphia Phillies will also attend. (94V0101)
