The F277-4 series of Heinz Aviators is a wonderful set of famous aviators of the 1950’s. The set includes possibly the most famous aviator, Charles Lindbergh as the #1 card. Other famous aviators include WWI flying ace “Eddie” Rickenbacker, “Jimmie” Dolittle and three different cards of female aviators—Louise Thaden, Ruth Nichols and Phoebe Omlie. At some point, five cards were pulled from production, creating five scarce variations in the set. Amelia Earhart #2, Laura Ingalls #5, Howard Hughes #7, Edwin Musick #8 and Frank Hawks #9 are all very difficult to locate and sell for significant premiums to the regular cards in the set.

This complete set of PSA-Graded cards has an overall GPA of 6.34 includes the following cards: PSA5 EX (2 cards: #1 and 25), PSA6 EX-MT (12 cards: #2, 3, 5, 7, 12, 13, 14, 16, 19, 20, 23 and 24), PSA6.5 EX-MT+ (1 card: #17), PSA7 NM (10 cards: #4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 18, 21 and 22). Great opportunity to get a turnkey set that, with a few upgrades, could be a straight PSA7 set.
