Default 1961 Post Cereal "Company" cards miscut

Hi Gang:

Just picked up something I have never seen in my 60+ years of collecting Post Cereal cards I recall sending away for a 1961 Phillies company sheet from the offer on the box,

These were a 10 card perforated sheet and the cards are now called "company" vs those cut from the "box"

Full sheets are very difficult to find as most of us kids at the time of course pulled the cards apart from the sheet. If anyone is interested, I do have a full sheet of the White Sox available. Message me for details.

But what I am referencing above about what I just picked up are miscut cards from a company sheet I assume. Not sure how this could happen but as you will see the perforations are in a different place than originally planned. The first three cards show part of one card with part of another beneath with the perfs along the top and bottom as is normal for regular "company" cards.

The next three show the perforation line along the line of stars above the players name

The final photo shows Johnny Temple's card where the top has been pulled off at that same perforated line through the stars.

Anyone else have any like this?
