It was mentioned earlier that someone thought the cards came in peppermint candy.
Back in the 1980's an old man gave me some Koester cards.... (we didnt know they were Koesters cards at the time)
He told me he got them from a butterscotch candy company...KERRS candy.
He may have been wrong with his memory. This was in Baltimore ...Koesters bread was sold in Baltimore. Research was done and I couldn't find a link between Kerrs and baseball cards, but I find it interesting candy has been mentioned twice .
Maybe they were thinking of the american caramel issue?
