Looking for help with identification

[camaro69]

OK, I have these 5 pictures. They look like they are simply cut from a magazine.On the backs you can see some advertisements.
And I want to think they are sometimes early 1950's. But could be way off on that. I was just trying to go by some of the advertisements.
The measure about 3.5 inches X 4.25 inches .PLMK if you think you can help. Thanks.

those are Wheaties M-cards from the backs of Dell comic books. Very under the radar. Here is an uncut Al Rosen



They vary slightly in size.



I classify them as M cards because the instructions say to cut them out, so clearly intended to be cards.

Thank you very much for the information.

I should have ask you. Is there a checklist to LMK how many are in a set.
What little research I have done using the information that you have provided.
It seems to be a very small amount of these on the checklist.Thanks.

That makes a bunch of sense. First thing I thought of when I saw the cut out card was that it reminded me of the wheaties metal trays.

The six shown here are the ones I know of.

There are only 6 baseball players with a "card" to cut out, but there is also a Spark Up comic book ad of Preacher Roe without a "card" like these. There also are basketball player Bob Davies and footballer Tom Fears with "card," making the complete set 8.
