Legendary Auction Corn Flakes Set ??

[dallen]

These posts were pointed out to me so I thought it appropriate to comment.
First some background...an old time collector saw our recent sale of the "Champion Corn Flakes" football cards and brought to the attention of a dealer that he had acquired a collection of these baseball subjects decades ago. The dealer contacted us after examining the cards and coming to the conclusion they were in fact original and appeared legitimate. I asked that these be sent in for us to review. Myself and two of my staff examined the cards and came to the same conclusion and discussed the find with Bob Lemke. The collection included the 52 cards offered along with a hand-full of duplicates. The blank-backed cards are on white blank-backed card stock that match the "Champion Corn Flake" football issue. We concluded they were a "Champion Corn Flake" issue based on their similarities to that set. Although one may question this designation they are most definitely not a thin poster stock printed on both sides as the promotional piece produced by Sports Illustrated. I would be happy to answer any additional questions anyone may have.
