Question about 1952 Topps Advertising Panels

[hharm3]

Hello, 1st post here. We're currently going through my late FIL's cards. He has the 5 1952 Topps panels below. Only 1 of them currently appears on tcdb. Is there any idea on how many different 3 card combos were made? Is it known how many were made? Any other relevant info would be great.

Thanks






Backs are all the same

Do NOT sell those cheap. Those are pretty awesome items. Maybe see if PSA will grade them.

X2.
Maybe post these in the post war section as well as you "may" get more help there?

BTW, welcome to the site hharm3.

Good luck.

Thanks, I'll post there. I guess I should have read the forum name a little more closely. I'll leave this one here to at least get something from the right era.



I have no idea why the pics look green? Card is B&W.

There is a "setting choice" selection in your menu when you open your scanner connection ; usually all pre-set by the maker to what 99% of the users do anyway ; one of the choices should be Black And White Photograph besides all the others ( "color photo" " magazine " etc. etc.) ----- most users don't bother because it's so infrequently needed.

PS Is the back of the Post Cereal pink mug shot clean ? That's worth encapsulating , for protection if nothing else . Welcome aboard.

Thanks, I didn't have a flatbed when doing the pics so they're all just photos taken with a MS Surface tablet. Most look fine but the Cobb turned green on me?

You're talking about the 1960 Mantle Post cereal cut-out? If so, the back is clean and it's in a large top-loader type plastic. If not, I'm confused.

Plan is to sell everything, we're just not sure what the best way to do that is yet. You folks have been great helping me identify or get more info on some of the stuff I had questions on.
