Blanke Wenneker series'

[Leon]

The title says it all. I believe that until I was alerted, by one of our board members, to this box on ebay and subsequently won it several years ago, we didn't have a firm understanding of where the Nadja Caramel cards originated from. Now, it seems some of the Blanke Wenneker advertising items I see on ebay go for a fair amount more than they used to. Show some E104s, or Blanke Wenneker stuff, if you would like to...(the top 3 scans are of the original box which is approx 9" x 14", the next box is actually much smaller in size)

Assuming Blanke chocolates was a predecessor of Blanke Wenneker........

Hey Tom
No doubt they are the same. Check out that first item you posted. It has identical cursive writing as the cards and the first box shown in the first post. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Tom
This E239 is probably super rare but I think I would put E104-3 up against most sets. We are still finding uncatalogued players from the third series of baseball. An individual type of E104-3 baseball won't be super tough (though we might not see one for a year at a time) however, finding a certain player could take almost a lifetime. regards

Leon- how does one identify an E104 type 3? I assume there is some easy way to tell. I will say that I have never seen that particular pose of Tom Jones, so is it just the pose that distinguishes it from types 1 and 2?
