Default StarCal decals? Your advice, background

I'm looking to add some different looking "cards" to my HOF collection and the 52 Star-Cal decals look pretty cool/funky...

Am wondering if any members might be able to either point me to other threads on these as collectables or offer opinions on the same?

Looks like the Type 1 are single player versions and the type 2 are 2 players (sometime the same player twice and sometimes 2 diff players?)

Are they much larger than standard cards from the early 50's?

Lastly, any advice on graded or raw? Seems like a safe move to get raw -

thanks for any background -

Jeff

Here is an advertisement from the back of an old Comic book. It says the decals are 4x6, and in 1953 they were 6 for $1. I think they are pretty cool! You can put them on your lunchbox.

Another interesting StarCal collectible is the salesman book. It features both the large and smaller version of the stickers as a flip booklet. In the early 80s two appeared here in the Los Angeles area; one had a large decal of Jackie Robinson and I believe the other had Ted Williams. They were around $100 each at that time. I ended up with the Robinson, but I later traded it to a dealer towards a 68 3D Clemente. Has anyone else seen the salesman booklets?

They're substantially larger than a card and bigger than a PC.

They are pretty much what you see is what you get in terms of raw, with one caveat: over time some of them have gotten stuck to the envelope, so you may find that you cannot reposition the decal itself in the window of the paper envelope; if they got a little damp, they're stuck. Good collectible, though, to supplement the player collection.
