The 1933 R306 Butter Cream baseball card set is a rare and intriguing collection of baseball cards, distinguished by its unique design and limited distribution. The set consists of 30 known cards, each featuring a black-and-white photographic image of a player against a plain background. What sets these cards apart is their distinctive vertical format which give them a striking appearance. The player's name, team, and a promotional message from Butter Cream Confectionery are printed on the back. Issued as a promotional item, these cards were originally distributed with packages of Butter Cream candies, making them a delightful blend of baseball and confectionery marketing. Featuring stars like Hall of Famers Babe Ruth and 15 others, the R306 set is highly sought after by collectors due to its scarcity and the iconic players it includes, representing a unique piece of baseball and advertising history from the early 20th century.
This single 1933 R306 Butter Cream Fred Lindstrom card has been graded SGC10 or Poor but is a mostly clean representative type card from the oddball set.
