Graded EX 5 by PSA, one of just nine examples, in total, holdered by that company. Hall of Famer. From one of the rarest of all early 1950s regional sets, this showpiece was released in the first year of the Stahl-Meyer brand hot dog insert production. Distributed on a one-card-per-package basis, and available only in the New York area, Stahl-Meyer cards are widely appreciated in the modern hobby. This well-centered example – picturing Brooklyn Dodgers fan favorite Duke Snider – displays the issue's rounded corners (so designed to avoid puncturing the meat product's external packaging) and the heavy wax coating intended to protect the card, in turn, from being ruined by proximity to raw hot dogs! Snider’s smiling portrait remains bright and essentially undisturbed on the obverse of this alluring rarity. A prized and ever-elusive Snider collectible, in carefully preserved Excellent condition.

Please note: This is a 1955 Stahl-Meyer Duke Snider, not a 1953 as PSA notes on the flip.
