1951 Topps Baseball Ad...
 

Posted By: <b>Jeff Shepherd</b><p>Just pulled this ad out from my collection - published May 8th, 1951. I don't know all that much about this series, but found it interesting that the cards were packaged with a candy bar of some sort. They appear to be Redbacks, with a 51 Topps Connie Mack Christy Mathewson hiding behind Phil Rizzuto. Were Connie Macks issued alongside Redbacks? Also, note the rounded corners on the Mathewson - are they ever found that way? Enjoy...<br /><br /><img src="http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/ladypaper/1951ToppsBaseball-05_08_51.jpg" width="556" height="746"><br /><br />edited to add publishing date.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>There was an article recently in Old Cardboard on the distribution of 51 Topps cards. The Connie Mack All Stars were packaged with the regular cards. I can't remember for sure, but I believe the article said you could buy a few of the regular cards (maybe two?) with one All Star, or the complete set with one (or maybe a few) All Stars.<br /><br />I've never heard of rounded corners on the All Stars.<br /><br />Neat ad. Where did you find it?
