Those are really nice Tim-- so too that football display and that mini. I only have the '35 Foxx left-- I always liked the 35s and 36s the best, but many of the others are nice too.
I consider them cards. As mentioned, they are really not different than at least a dozen other food/candy/gum issues over the years. Do collectors really quibble that Darby Chocolate, J=K, Orange Borders, All-Star baseball and Baseball Bats Candy are not cards?
Are the 1960 Post Cereals or 1959 Bazookas cards? I guarantee if Wheaties had chosen to put a dashed line around the outer edges of its box with some sort of "cut here" direction then these would be viewed differently, even though it was obvious they were intended to be removed and saved--at least the ones with the ornate frames. So do I have a Wheaties card if I cut this one up?:
