Salem's Potato Chips Indians
Posted By: Bob Lemke
This set was listed in the Sugar "Bible" (and possibly the ACC) as F-338. I no longer have access to those books. Can anyone provide the information found therein? I believe there were 4-6 Indians listed in the Bible checklist, but don't recall a physical description. Does the ACC list the set? Any description? How about the old Johnny Sterling catalog? |

Bible #3 page 88 6 1/2 by 9, with a note that says they can't be distinguished from team issued cards. |

Then I gotta wonder on what basis Dick Dobbins labeled this an F-388. While the Indians switched to a more glossy stock in 1951 and a 6" x 8-3/4" size for team photo packs in their last year (1954), any of the players who were still there from circa 1948-50 would seem to be indistinguishable betwen the common team-issue and the "ultra-rare" Salem's. |

Hey Bob, I don't know much about the Indians potato chip cards, but I recently stumbled across some potato chip cards that I think may have been largely unknown in the hobby and considering they both have staple holes at the top I assume they were stapled to the top of the bag. |

In the u-l corner on back is scripted in pencil "Indians". At l-l corner is a more lightly pencilled F-338 (presumably by Dobbins). |

My only thought on a possible distinguishing feature is the "Indians" scripted on back in pencil. Why would anyone need to add the team name? Even if that WAS a Salem's "mark" it would be too easy to fake to be a useful diagnostic. |
