I'm glad you brought this thread back after so many years. A few months ago I almost bought one of these "1951 Wheaties." As I always do before a decent-sized purchase, I read everything I could on the subject. This very thread is the sole reason I didn't spend 4-figures on the card. After reading the arguments posted, I am extremely wary about this card. With the photo being taken in 1952 and General Mills not having any info on it, I simply will not spend that kind of money on it. The theory that these may have been "planted" in the market 20 years ago makes enough sense for me to pass on this issue.
