DESCRIPTION

1958 Hires Root Beer TEST SET — Vern Law — PSA 1 PR (No Tab) PSA Cert #120505371

Rare vintage test issue of a Cy Young winner! This is Vern "Deacon" Law from the scarce 1958 Hires Root Beer TEST SET — an 8-card trial issue produced before Hires released its full 66-card regular set. Test set cards were distributed in far smaller quantities than the regular issue and are significantly harder to find, making this a tough card for vintage set builders, Pirates collectors, and 1950s regional/food-issue specialists.

Card Details:

  • Set: 1958 Hires Root Beer Test Set (No Tab)
  • Player: Vern Law, Pitcher
  • Team: Pittsburgh Pirates
  • Grade: PSA 1 PR
  • Cert Number: 120505371 (verifiable on PSA's website)

The card features the classic Hires design — a black-and-white player photo against a bright orange background with Law's script name across the top and "Pittsburgh Pirates" along the bottom. The back includes his full bio, stats, and the vintage Hires Root Beer bottle graphic.

Just two years after this card was issued, "The Deacon" reached the top of the sport — winning the 1960 Cy Young Award (20-9) and two games in the 1960 World Series as the Pirates famously toppled the Yankees on Mazeroski's walk-off homer. A great card of one of the most beloved Pirates of the era, from his pre-Cy Young days.

Condition: Professionally graded PSA 1 PR and encapsulated in a tamper-evident PSA holder. The low grade keeps this scarce test issue affordable — please review all photos carefully, as the images are of the exact card you will receive and serve as the best indicator of condition.

Test set Hires cards rarely surface in any grade — a fantastic opportunity to add one featuring a Cy Young winner without a big-grade price tag!

Shipping & Handling: Graded card will be shipped securely — sleeved, bubble-wrapped, and boxed with tracking. Ships within [1] business day of payment. Please check out our other listings — we're happy to combine shipping on multiple wins!

Thanks for looking, and follow our store for more vintage and graded cards added weekly!
