Founded in 1896 by Herbert Bigelow and Hiram Brown, Brown & Bigelow is a Saint Paul, Minnesota based company that sells branded promotional merchandise.
Brown & Bigelow originally produced the Hoyle line of playing card decks in 1927 and initiated the convention of publishing calendars for the Boy Scouts of America.
They produced decks with business names engraved on the front during the early 1950's in similar style to the 442 Brown & Bigelow Redislip, later BB2.1 c.1952 - 1958. Some of these decks featured famous baseball players and are difficult to find in good condition today.
This is perhaps the finest set of Brown & Bigelow Ace cards with Ty Cobb as the subject in the world. Each was graded by PSA as a Gem Mint 10 except for the Ace of Hearts which received a Mint 9 grade. The cards are often highly desired by avid baseball collectors and extremely valuable as a treasured full set.
