Then I gotta wonder on what basis Dick Dobbins labeled this an F-388. While the Indians switched to a more glossy stock in 1951 and a 6" x 8-3/4" size for team photo packs in their last year (1954), any of the players who were still there from circa 1948-50 would seem to be indistinguishable betwen the common team-issue and the "ultra-rare" Salem's.

I did question why a large-format "card" would have been a potato chip premium; i.e., how were they actually issued.
