Default WWII BB cards....1943 M. P. & Co....Show us your cards

The Michael Pressner & Co. issued this 24-card set in 1943. They were sold in Candy stores and 5 & 10-cent Department stores in the form of 8-card strips........


v................................................. .... original uncut 8-card strip (21 1/2 inches long) .................................................. ....v





Enlarged strip (split scan)







Cut singles......







Sure......you could say that these are some crude looking cards; nevertheless, in certain ways you could also say they are sort of unique.


Their ACC designation is R302-1. Which I don't understand, since these cards were not issued with GUM. Anyhow, if you have them, let's
see if we can display all 24 cards here.
