Unique Lunchbox Find and question

Brownie33 · #1 07-20-2025, 02:26 PM

Just stumbled across two lunchboxes (Aladdin Industries) that appear to be decoupaged with cards from the 1968-1970 Sports Illustrated poster promo set. I’m unsure how to confirm authenticity due to the glue. However, was curious if anyone thoughts on how to confirm or even more information about the set.

Nice lunchbox. I am sure it will display great.

It appears that someone cut up one of those display pieces that showed all of the posters and glued them on this. I was thinking of those displays in a store where you would look at the number next to the name and pull out the poster you wanted from the cubbyholes below.

Thanks, Michael! I wonder if there is a way to determine if these were from the poster or the card set.

They look to be cut from these poster order forms. I don't know that there was such a thing as a card set, but there was a set of posters.

I agree I dont recall a set of cards issued by SI. But a number of the photos used for the posters were used by Nabisco in their set.
Like this Frank Robinson. So maybe that is set OP referanced
But the lunchbox definitely looks like the SI display. Not the Nabisco cards. In fact the numbers on the photos on the Lunchbox confirm they came from the poster.

Poster cut outs makes sense.

Thanks! I am excited to see how these look when I find a place for them.
