1950 Royal Dessert Stan Musial

Vintageismygame

I went and looked at a collection last night and the gentleman had 2 1950 Royal Dessert Stan Musial in his collection that look to be approx PSA 7 quality. Just how rare is this card and what value does it have

There are several other key cards in this collection but I will post more details once the deal is finalized.

I think I am fairly qualified to give you an answer on this. I wouldnt call the Royal Desserts cards extremely rare, but they are certainly limited. There are much much more Rarer Musial cards ( Hunter Wieners, 46 Montgomery Ward, Propoganda Monteil and Sports Exchange Mini Green Border come to mind).

There are two versions of the Royal Dessert Card and it all has to do with what is written on the box. The first version will read on the second paragraph something like: Musial's 207 basehits set a National League record in 49. The second version will read something like: Musial batted .346 in 1951. I find it toughter to locate this version, than I do the previous version, although I am not sure one if more rare than the other. If indeed that cards were PSA 7 quality, they would be the highest graded versions on record. You should examine very carefully, as these cards are notorious for having hard to see surface wrinkles, and more importantly you need to measure the card to make sure it measure up correctly. Most people had no regard to cutting these cards within the appropriate dimensions to allow for grading. Good Luck, and keep me posted, I have a major Musial collection, and would be very interested in both of these, should you purchase. I would prefer them RAW myself.

Hope that helps.
