Legendary Hall of Famer

Pirates Great

1933 Tattoo Orbit, Paul Waner.
The 1933 Orbit Tattoo baseball cards, issued by the Orbit Gum Company of Chicago, are a distinctive and scarce regional issue notable for their vibrant colors and whimsical design.
Paul "Big Poison" Waner is among the stars featured in the set.
Waner was a legendary Hall of Fame outfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates and stands out as one of the set’s key subjects.
By 1933, Waner was already an established hitting star, having won the 1927 MVP and leading the Pirates to a pennant. His appearance in the Orbit Tattoo set links one of baseball’s great hitters to one of the more unconventional and charming baseball card sets of the prewar era.
