1966 Foremost Milk St. Petersburg Cardinals Overview
The 20 black and white cards that make up this set feature the 1966 Class A Florida League St. Petersburg Cardinals. However, I haven’t been able to find any information about how either the Cardinals or Foremost Milk distributed this set.
The set is famous for being managerial legend Sparky Anderson’s first baseball card as a manager.
Each black and white photograph has the Foremost Milk logo printed towards the bottom of the photo. Beneath the photo, within the white border, is the player’s name in bold capital letters with the team name and year printed below that.
The cards are unnumbered and have blank backs.
