Yuengling’s Prohibition‑Era Ice Cream Venture and Its Rare Baseball Card Treasure

During Prohibition, D.G. Yuengling & Sons Brewery turned to ice cream and issued a 60‑card baseball set that included Hall of Famers. The set’s rarity, especially the elusive Earl Smith card, makes it a coveted collector’s item, and the brand’s ice‑cream business was sold in 2019.
