that is amazing...reminds me of a candy distributor I used to go to as a kid when I visited my grandma on staten island. I'd buy unopened boxes of topps cards.and this was before you could just "buy unopened boxes of cards!" |

If you were to win "one" of the Babe Ruth Star Player cards still in the wrapper, would you leave it as is or would you take it out of the wrapper??? |

I'd have a hard time opening up one of those packages. And for what it's worth, the value of the Ruth in NM will surely go down due to the sudden influx into the market of these examples. As someone who loves the Star Player Candy issue, I'm not sure I've ever seen a cooler find. Has there ever been a find of cards inside a pack with gum from an earlier date? |

"The find will also clear up a misconception that the W553 set was a 'strip card' issue. The unopened find includes cards inside wrapped Marble Gum Novelties packs. They are likely the earliest sports card gum cards ever issued." |

Dan, don't forget about the G & B's. They pre-date the W553's by a little! |

I didn't even think about the G&B issue...that adds another 20 years, so in actuality the W553 are predated by 40 years for the first gum issue. |

In the mid 1990's, I went to a paper show and was lucky enough to find 16 of the 1928 Star Player Candy cards for sale. The dealer said these cards were ones that his Father had bought as a child. I thought it was strange that among the 16 cards there were no duplicates. |

Rhett, good point on the 29 v. 28 sets. But is "Dockman's" the same Dockman's of E92 fame? |

It is the same Dockman's from all we can tell. Rob and I matched up the candy that was found, and the type of printing, with his consignment and some Dockman's items I have and they match up very well. Those are a few of the ways we were able to verify they are the same "Dockman's". regards |

This is truly amazing. A newly discovered Star Candy Johnson (issued in 1929? why?) The first ever discovery of Star Candy packaging, and association of the set with Dockman's. (Will the name of the set now be changed? Does the Star Candy name appear anywhere on the Dockman's box?) |

I agree about the W553's and even told Rob that (handcut) ones are all over the place. I know I have seen a preponderance of them be handcut, including my type and many I have bought and sold. The W553's he has are NOT sports so maybe the sports were strips and the others weren't? It's an interesting situation. best regards |

Just within the last year there were some W553's found in a scrapbook that were still in their vertical strips. So, this tends to indicate that they were probably available both ways -- as singles with a product (as in the REA find) and as strips. I believe someone here on the forum eventually came forward and admitted they had bought the strips from the ebay auction. |

Any of those discs like the Grove and others? I've never seen anything like that. ODD that they wouldn't have appeared before now (if they haven't). Incredible find though. Absolutely incredible. |

Maybe the Star Player Candy name was used for the 1928 set (baseball and football cards) and then changed for the 1929 set when additional subjects from other areas of interest were added? |

Question; of the known football players in the 1928 set, are they of players from the East Coast or the Mid West? |

The 1929 Walter Johnson is new, but there has been a 1928 SPC Walter Johnson listed in SGC's population reports for some time - they list one graded, an SGC 10. I have never seen the card, so I am not sure if it uses the same pose as the '29. |

Chris, do you know what geographical area the collector you bought your cards from originally bought the cards? |

Do those Tattoo Orbit's house the R308 and not the R305 cards? To my understanding, the R305 series was not released with the "Pirate Ship" design and only in clear one-cent packages. |

WOW!! I've been a lurker (and infrequent poster) on this board for several years, and this is the most amazing thing I've seen. Does anyone know if Old Cardboard will be running an article on this find? Congrats to Rob and I hope the auction goes well. Also, in addition to the above mentioned sets, E105's are also known as gum cards (though E223 of course has them all beat). |

It looks like the Tattoo Orbits are Flags Of All Nations and not baseball? It looks like the Whiz Bang will be sold as a single unit and not broken up? The Orbits will most likely be sold in one box lots? The Star Player box will be sold in one lot? Does anyone know when the auction will be in on-line preview? |
