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 lot contains a lot of (8) PSA-graded F277-4 Heinz Aviators. The lot includes the following subjects: #1 Lindbergh (PSA4 VGEX), #4 Roscoe Turner (PSA6 EXMT), #8 Bob Vaughn (2 cards: PSA4 VGEX and PSA6 EXMT), #12 Casey Jones (PSA5 EX), #20 Phoebe Omlie (PSA4 VGEX), #23 James G Ray (PSA4 VGEX) and #24 Harold June (PSA3 VG). Great start to a set of these popular cards.
