"I seem to recall...the cellophane version possibly being a "collectors club" christmas re-packaging or something like that..."


That does not appear to be accurate. See image below. The words on the wrapper read:

Front: "16 Official Trading Cards. an educational hobby. TCG. trading card guild"

Back 1: "Made and printed in U.S.A. Trading Card Guild, Mfr. A division of Topps for Toys. Copyright 1951. Brooklyn, N.Y."

Back 2: "Collect Official Trading Cards. Collecting trading cards is an exciting and educational hobby for boys and girls. Many of the world's leading citizens take pride in their collections, which they started in their youth. Even today they continue to search for new and interesting subjects. It's fun! It's educational! It's valuable!"
