If nothing else thought I would put this back on top...anytime that a manufacturer and date of issue of a previously unclassified issue that little has been known about is discovered, it should be big news in our little nook in the hobby. And heck we even know the price of the item, and have a depiction of the box that these cards were cut out of. Once again, great job Jeff.

I agree Brian- This is actually fairly big news. I hope Bob L and Lyman will capture this information on/in their respective venues. Also, it shows what I believe to be the gray background with white borders type card/box. I am guessing there were 3 types of boxes per the cards we generally see.. regards

With Google digitization of more publications and the Paper of Record available for free to SABR members (http://www.sabr.org, hint hint), there will no doubt be more discoveries such as this in the card and memorabilia field.

Great find.
