Old Cardboard eMagazine #179 Set for Delivery this Weekend
 

Greetings,

Just a rem​inder that the September 2021 issue (Issue #179) of the quarterly Old Cardboard eMagazine is set for distribution this weekend.

The full contents of the eMagazine include:

1. Updated Auction and Show Calendar
2. 1930 F278-50 Famous North Americans Set by Eric Eichelkraut
3. The 1950 Candy Sets of the American Nut and Chocolate Co.
4. Recent Additions to the OldCardboard.com Website
5. News Briefs (A Digest of Recent Hobby Happenings)

The Post Cereal "Famous North Americans" article includes data about the two sizes of cards cut from the backs of Post Cereal boxes around 1930. Christy Mathewson is the only baseball player in the 32-card set. Little known background info about the set sponsor is also provided.

The "American Nut and Chocolate Co." article divides the company's circa 1950 promotions into five baseball subsets, ranging from relatively common team pinbacks and mini-pennants to exceedingly rare pennant premium sets--some that are virtually unknown to today's collectors.

If you would like to sign up for a FREE subscription, just send your email address to editor@oldcardboard.com.

We hope that you enjoy the issue.

Happy collecting,
Lyman
