I remember getting those in packs, but I don't remember the boxed set. At 15 cents for the box that would have been the best way to pick those up!

I have a set I put together years ago. I haven't seen many boxed sets.
Those offsets are neat. Steve B |

Oh yes i remember, the box is very rare Al but i'm sure you know it very well! game cards fairly common do to close-out release
they were patterned from 1951 red/blue backs, that box set was extremely limited back in 1968 i did see them once at a newbberrys dep store i used to go to here in the west coast, but only that once, the cards were introduced in 3rd series wax and cello packs like the ones in the piccs which is important to know! because there is a number of series 1 & 2 packs, around with the game card which means there are either home made or fake! ![]()

Never seen the box before. Pretty cool. I have one or two Mantles, but nothing else. I feel like this is a very under appreciated set.

I need a Mantle in nice shape to complete my set, if anyone has one to trade.

Pepis mentioned that the 68 game cards inserts first appeared in the Third Series.
I was just wondering in how many of the series's the game cards were used? 4th & 5th also? Last edited by mojorob; 08-14-2013 at 08:51 AM. |

Hey Al
I have a set of these. Didn't seem like any of them were really tough to get either. Fairly easy set to complete. Mine is raw in mid grade too so maybe a high grade slabbed set is tougher. I don't know. I've never seen the boxed set. That's very cool. Thanks for sharing that. Best regards AndyH
