Essex Meats is a regional issue with cards from the St. Louis Hawks. The key card of this set is the Bob Pettit. I am still researching this set, but the cards that are out there are all in pretty good shape so I assume that they were given directly to customers.

There is a Sihugo Green card that was issued along with this set. I had never seen one until it went for $100.99 on ebay. Click here to see the card!
