Help on 1952 Wheaties

Piman58

Does anyone know where I can find information on the size of these cards after they have been cut?
I recently found a 52 Wheaties Feller deep within my card cabinet and it appears to not have been cut down
to size yet. Here is a scan.



Thanks for the help,
Charles

The cards when carefully cut out along the border are 2 x 2 - 3/4"

That's a sweet card.

The players can be found in both portrait and action shots - I have the Berra cards someplace?

Besides the large boxes, in '51 they came out on individual small boxes - I've seen them at shows many times in the late 80s - early 90s but was affraid of couterfeiting.

In fact, the '52 wheaties stuff has been heavily counterfeited - the Standard Catalog of BB puts the glut of fakes around 2002.

It's a fun set to do.

There's a total of 10 BB players - each with two cards:

Berra, Campanella, Feller, Kell, Kiner, Lemon, Musial, Rizzuto, Roe and Williams.

edit: if the card were carefully cut out and has no creases - including the back - the card in Nm would book at around 60 bucks.

Thanks for the information Mike.
Feller has always been a favorite of mine.
I may try to complete this set before I retire.

I had a 52 FB come back as a 7 with blue border still intact.

Interesting set. I did an eBay search to see what the other cards look like, and I stumbled across this. Charles, if you're a Feller fan and might chase the set, this piece would be perfect!
