I've never seen these, either, and London is my hometown. Salesman's samples.

Wonder what "36 count" refers to.

Thanks for posting those up.

Seems like it would be 36 packs in a box, 50% more than the US boxes, and would mean a bigger box.

For comparison here is the back of a '52 Topps US panel.

Anthony,

Thanks. That was my suspicion, but my mind wandered to other tantalizing, magical possibilities! We can only dream.

What's the earliest evidence of the Topps/O-Pee-Chee partnership? Does it predate the cards that started ~1948?
