Anyone collect '50's Regionals?
Posted By: Anthony
Does anyone here collect '50's regionals? In my mind, this was the golden age for regional sets. Whether issued with cookies, meat, potato chips, tobacco, or even dog food, this era had some of the best cards made. |

Lately I thinking I'd like to type collect 50's regionals because they are so darn interesting. The Mantle and Aaron I've posted here recently (still, my vanity insists I repost) but the Red Man's never made it awhile back when we seemed to be posting them (tabbed are '52, w/o tab '53.) |

I am about a 3rd of the way done with a 54' Red Heart set, with all the big ones (Mantle, Snider, Musial) out of the way. I have tried to add some Dan-Dee's and Wilson Franks but they seem to get pretty expensive, even for low-mid grade. |

I'm a big fan of 50s regionals, although I avoid the pricier sets due to my limited budget. If I was a vegetarian in the 1950s, I guess I would have eaten alot of cookies. Here are a few of my favorite 50s "cookie" sets: 1952 Mother's, 1953 Mother's and 1955 Johnston's ... |

1950s food issues seem to be synonymous with regional issues, but are there any national food issues? |

It is my understanding that Wilson Franks was a national brand. My father got them in Santa Barbara. |

...but it is one of my favorites of the '50s and has two of the nicest Mantle cards. Still looking for a few to complete my set. |

As I understand it the cards were only obtainable through mail-in (unless you know anyone who pulled one out of a can of dog food!) Does anyone know if Red Heart was distributed nationally? |

My favorite cards are the mid 1950s regional meat & wiener cards. |
