We rarely talk about either R308 Tattoo Orbit or R329 Foto Fun cards. So here are a few from a small group I picked up, just so folks can see some
Both series often come in lower grade condition.
More on the other few cards later...
R308 Issued in 1933 by Orbit Gum Company, a division of Wrigley
Much scarcer than Orbit's R305 cards issued the same year
Numbered on fronts from 151 through 207; blank backs
Often referenced as "High Numbers" due to numbering on cards
Rare R308-2 subset uses same design but much larger format
Examples from each of the R308 subsets are compared below
R329 Produced by Foto-Fun Films of Cincinnati, Ohio
More than 90 major league players and managers
Blue-tinted photo "appeared" when developed in light
Packet included thin cardboard frame to display player photo
Simulated woodgrain frame measures about 2-3/4 x 3-5/8 inches
Photo negatives in pack could be re-used
Instructions on back of cardboard frame
