1950 Wheaties Tin Trays

I found this ad for Wheaties "Metal Pictures" of your favorite "Baseball Champs" in the Apr 6, 1950 edition of the Elmira NY Star Gazette. The ad lists four different pictures - Jackie Robinson, Ralph Kiner, Phil Rizzuto, and Stan Musial to complete the set.

The promotion also shows up in a small detail ad by IGA Food Stores in the May 4, 1950 Winona MN Daily News. Both ads seem to suggest that you had to buy two packages of wheaties to get the metal picture.

The Standard Catalog has these dated to 1952, but it looks like they were actually issued in 1950.

Also including the tin of Stan Musial for reference (not mine)
