Default 1959 Lucky Penny Insert

How come the 1959 Lucky Penny insert keeps getting listed as a 1957 Lucky Penny card? I would think the 1959 issue would be much rarer?

I may be missing something. For 1959 I have the paper stock Elect Your Favorite Rookie and Felt Pennant inserts. For 1957 I have the 8 Checklists ( Blony and Bazooka variants), the 4 Contest cards and the Lucky Penny insert card.

1957







1959

There's a cardboard Lucky Penny insert and one that is thin paper. I have to think the latter was inserted in penny packs. These could have been issued over a couple of years and through various sports and non-sports packs.

If eBay listings are a gauge I would say yes, by far. Is your LP with the 59 date cardboard or paper stock ?

As far as I know no 59 LP insert is listed in SCD or The Registry.

The 1959 Lucky Penny insert is on the same glossy paper stock that the All Star Rookie Team is on. It even has the same slit on the side. I got this cheaply because it was misfiled under 1957 and in poor condition due to the slit which would be common for the issue. I have not seen another since I found this one.

I have one cardboard and one paper. Both are 1959.

UPDATE: Only my paper one is a 59-sorry for any confusion.
