I suppose, but hard to believe any real collector would mock Red Heart collectors.

I was being completely facetious. I was very skeptical of his/her first post. (S)he knew of Earl but played off as an outsider in the hobby with the dog food label comment? How many veteran collectors know Earl let alone would id him in a line waiting to get ice cream?

Whomever is playing the role of C. Vader needs to study the script better or the writer needs to be fired for story/character inconsistencies.

Ah OK lol.

I thought maybe the step uncle knew him and that explained that part of it, but what's the point of trying to figure this mess out, all the protagonists are behaving strangely including the OP if you ask me.

All of them I'd think. He's pretty recognizable

I have 6 years in so that either means I have not attained veteran status or I am the exception to your statement. Have no idea who Earl is, what he looks like, where he worked nor why he no longer works for his prior employer.

So let me ask you if you find it odd that some who would state, 'I cant believe you guys are collecting Dog Food Labels LOL!' would also know of Earl, be able to spot him in line getting ice cream, know he worked for SGC and know he left SGC? I find it very odd but maybe I am just odd.

6 years, you barely scratched the surface! Just kidding


If you've submitted cards to sgc in the past you'd probably know him. He was the guy who was always there and had some distinguishing features and demeanor

According to my research, 96.23% of dogs consumed only the dog food and not the card.

Therefore boarding kennel owners should be the “elite” Red Heart collectors.

How about a cool ad?

That's fantastic, i'd frame that bad boy

Please stop all this "dog food" talk. It's making me hungry.

Well over a decade ago, I found and purchased that ad on ebay. I plan to have the ad framed along with the 33 cards. I almost there, three cards to go!

When I saw this post months later, I thought it had been found. What a bummer to find it still hasn't been found. I hope whoever has it, gets paid back with karma.

An interesting thing about Red Hearts is that while printed in 1954, they were available through mail-in offers through the early 1970s. Indeed I wonder if any of the cards were later printed.

Hey Peter hope all is well. Some time back I was able to identify that there was at least two separate print runs. Type 1 and type 2. Mantle was used to identify the two. The light blues were type 1 and the dark blues are type two. There are also print marks and alignments that show the differences. I will see if I can get those posted for you to look at.

[T205 GB]

Type one and Type two 54 Red Hearts

Read through this entire thread. Really sorry you've gone through this Greg. Don't have much to contribute in terms of helping search for the card, it's just a terrible reality that there's some extremely dishonest people, with no sense of morals, that steal.
