Neat old comic cutouts of Musial & Berra and a metal Rizzuto

HoofHearted

When some neighbors packed up to move to another place back in the early '60s, they knew I collected bb cards and gave me these three items. Their oldest son must have had them pinned up in his bedroom because I never saw them elsewhere in the house when I went over to visit. The Musial and Berra shots have comic book-type artwork on the backs. The metal piece of Rizzuto has no markings of any kind. Does anybody have any other background on them?? Thanks!

The Rizzuto is a Wheaties tin tray

Ah!! Wheaties' trays are something I'm not familiar with. I've got some exploring to do.

Thanks for the tip!

Never seen them before, but the Musial and Berra look like early 50's shots of both.

Very cool items.

The trays are a set of four from 1952, and I believe the complete set consists of Musial, Kiner, Rizzuto, and Jackie Robinson

Oh, oh. I feel another collection coming on...

That's a good guess, I think. I wonder kind of comic a/o magazine they came from...
