Oh, I agree it doesn't seem to make sense - I just wanted to offer that Champion Corn Flakes does exist (in India). I just did a quick surf, and apparently it's been around for ages, and the box backs often included premium cut-outs such as masks.
I also noticed that the Champion football cards offered on eBay and elsewhere apparently all have perforations (just 1 or 2 on each edge) - Mike Mossier describes them as "
approx 2.1" x 3.2" - issued on boxes of Champion Corn Flakes – perforated card, one "perf" in each corner & middle of each side - as issued." Do the football issues use SI catalog numbers? If so, would the perforations be consistent with SI football advertising pieces?
