Default 1934 Gold Medal Foods Irving "Jack" Burns (Wheaties Premium) & original photo



...had the St. Louis Browns card for several years but the 5x7 parent photo just arrived . Thank you " Fedex" on E-Bay.....astounding stuff you have.

...the Gold Medal premium has five pin-holes and fifty years of cigarette smoke protecting its glossy finish but the American League Service Bureau photograph has only four pin-holes and a lot of editors' penciling .

..I've seen that picture used on another Jack Burns card too...one of those annoying little "W" cards.

..
