Any info on Reds Burger Beer cards?

I hadn't really noticed these before until I stumbled on a Rose checklist online, and this was listed. A quick googling doesn't turn much up. This might be up Bob's alley due to location and Reds stuff. Were these cards black and white or color? I'm also curious how tough these are to find. And of course, I'd love to see a scan if anyone has one.

The SCD Standard Catalog lists sets for 1952/53 (10 subjects) , 1955 (13), 1956/57 (21), 1958/59 (19), and 1960 to 64 (55) . They are described as 8 1/2 X 11 B&Wphotos/pictures . Apparently only the 56/57 and 58/59 subjects actually mention Burger Beer . Several portrait and pose variations are listed in all but the 55 set. Rose is listed in the 60 to 64 set. Descriptions say checklists are likely not complete

The Catalog does show pictures of one subject from each set

Thanks Bishop. I have a 2000 Standard Catalog but it didn't list Rose in the set. I think I'll keep my eyes open for one of those on ebay.

I cam mail you a copy of the 60-64 updated checklist from the 06 Catalog if you want it
