Quick question about an older set of cards

kuhlmann

Customer bought in some looked like 5 by 7 inch cards from the 50's nothing on the back and like black and white on the front but kind of tan looking? i have never seen them before. it was of bob feller, red shoinst (spelling off) and 2 others i forget. any way anybody have a clue of what im talking about?

Just going by a "name" Topps Blue Back? (**EDIT DUH....where did i get BLue from...sorry..) The were "elongated" but I dont think that big....... An Idea you might think about is getting a "cheap" digital camera for the store. You can get a "decent" one for under $100 I think. Just a thought.

Are you sure about the measurement - not blank back exhibits - they are smaller tho
Mike
Is there a fax auto in front? Topps did a 5x7 in 80 color - did they do any other year?

No - not sure - I have exhibits but they are smaller 3-3/8x5-3/8 and the Feller is in the Salutation set and the Schoendienst is in the 47-66 set - the autos are different - doubt that's what they were - I can't think of anything as large as 5-7 from those players. Thanx for the auto ball!!!!!!!!!

Topps did those large cards in '80's (&70's?) as a send in offer (so many wrappers & $) , Did they possibly do that in 50's too?
