Quick question, please help.

Can anyone please tell me what company SSPC was? I've seen these cards before but know nothing about them, or the history of the company. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Sports Star Publishing Company

    From the Standard Catalog Of Baseball Cards

    "This set, produced by the Sports Star Publishing Company in 1975 as a collectors' issue (though not actually issued until 1976) was withdrawn from the market because of legal entanglements. Because SSPC agreed never to reprint the isuue, some collectors feel it has an air of legitimacy. The complete set contains 630 full color cards, each 2-1/2" X 3 1/2" in size. The cards look similar to 1953 Bowmans, with only the player picture (no identification) on the fronts. Card backs are in a vertical format, with personal stats, brief biographies, uniform and card numbers printed in a variety of colors."


    Also if my memory serves me correctly the set was also Counterfeited as well.

    I heard that Keith Oberman from ESPN wrote the bios on backs of the cards.
