Has anyone been tracking these issues in terms of the RC nuttiness? Has it spilled into this collecting backwater?

Oh, and here's the Jackie Robinson image as I seem to have killed the one that was posted before:

I'm still researching this Sports Star Subjects set. I have yet to find any of the 4 packets containing 12 cards each
that these Square cards were sold in.

I've seen (or had) several of the individual cards (including the Walker Cooper card). Here's my Rizzuto and a sample
of the Movie Star issue (circa 1949-1950). I have a near complete set of the Movie Stars.

Refer to post #8 in this thread to distinguish the original (1949) Square cards from the "Festberg find" Square reprint
cards with respect to the difference in the color of their backs (white vs. toned).

Looking forward to seeing you at the National.

I'm not a card guy, but are those expensive per card

Some of my Bond Bread cards

Generally speaking it's not an expensive set relative to others.

Kenny- great looking cards there!!

I believe this photo appeared in the original thread but I think the picture of the cards issued in the boxes disappeared. Here's the photo.

Thanks for posting those packets.

They are the 4 packets of the Sports Star Subjects set (Square cards) that I alluded to in post #72 here.

Is there a checklist for each series of the Sports Stars? It says on the front of the boxes that each series contains 12 cards, but I am not sure if they are all baseball or if they are mixed sports.

That shot of robinson was also used in there picture pack.

Regarding The Imposters-Pafko
 

I have no idea if this is relevant to the good work Ted and others have done but...I noticed that the same image was used in the "Imposter Series" as was used in the '38 Salutation Exhibit. It is clear to me by the brim on Andy's cap. Those boxes were very nice to see!!!
