I saw that on ebay and thought it was not card oriented enough to go for. Very cool....I just have so much crap I am running out of room for more. A little research shows that it could have been a small toy or card in the packet with or without candy. Leader Novelty did put out a set of baseball cards that were on boxes according to one website description:

"VERY RARE - 1.75" by 2.6" in size, Leader Novelty Candy Co. cards were mostly unknown until a group of them with an original candy box showed up in the famous Sotheby's Copeland Collection Auction of March 1991. Found in sepia, red, green, or purple tint, there was said to be 33 cards in the Copeland group, but only 13 different have been cataloged to date"

I happened to get the 2 from this collector (long lost Frank Ward) and have seen about a dozen others in total.....
