All I have to go on is the newspaper and it says "R U Saving them?" so my guess is it was a giveaway which in turn would be to sell more papers. Therefore I will go with what's behind Door 1 and say "yes."
I guess this could also beg the question, when would it be alright to cut up a paper like this? The set in NRMT goes for $450.....I would hope that with the right cut they would be close to MINT.....I have just never had the heart to cut anything up AND I NEVER would do it to an item this scarce. A beat up, more common strip card.....maybe, though I never have.

I had seen the OC writeup about their being associated with Winnie Winkle, and I have one of the two I'm interested in (have Bucky Harris; WaJo is still out there somewhere). Very neat to see them in the original setting.
I wonder how many were in a "set"? OC says there are 10 total, and the Ruth is described as the first one in the second set. Leon, can you tell us which stamps were where in the lineup? Bill |

There are 10 baseball players in the set and in this grouping. I can't do it now but will give an update to this thread in a few days. I will be tied up in business meetings until Sunday evening....yippee!!

Sometimes resurrecting an old thread has it's merits. I never knew there were 2 different colors of these stamps. There are ones with yellow backgrounds, as in this upper post in this thread, and ones with green backgrounds as in this auction and this Johnson. I am now thinking each player came in one of 2 colors....... (I don't know the seller of this one)....

These come in all colors and in different sizes. I'm not even sure the TPG's should encapsulate them since they are basically newspaper clippings, but PSA, SGC, and BVG all do.
