1958 Syracuse Nationals Overview
I believe the 1958 Syracuse Nationals basketball card set of glossy photos was a team issue. Beckett wrote that the prints sold for 25 cents, or $2 for the entire set of 11.
The fronts feature a black and white posed image of each player with their name, age, height, weight, hometown, and college underneath. The backs are blank and unnumbered.
1958 Syracuse Nationals Examples and Sales
It doesn’t appear that PSA has graded any of these oversized photos.
Huggins and Scott Auctions sold the following complete set (some are signed) and the original mailer that held the photos for $179 in 2015.
And this John Kerr has been on eBay, with an asking price of $23.99 for years.
You can see photos of most of the set’s cards on TCDB.
1958 Syracuse Nationals Key Cards
While scarce, the photos/cards are not expensive. However, you could consider the Hal Greer and Connie Dierking cards rookies.
