Hey Scott:

Neat stuff!! I have a similar catalog from 1961. I think my scans are too big to upload here. I'll send you the scans via email.

Fred - if you can send scans to my email I will post them for you. leonl@flash.net

Great thread guys. Most likely I will have this put into our permanent archives section.

Interesting stuff, gentlemen.

Scott, I've been saying for years that the separation between the Salutations and the 1947-66 "sets" is inaccurate but I cannot seem to convince the SCD people of that. Here's more proof, a baseball-boxing header with a Passeau Salutation and a Musial:



Uncut sheet with a Salutations Williams right next to a Colavito Detroit [he was traded from Cleveland after the 1959 season]:



I noticed in the 1949 catalog that the World Champs and Prizefighters cards are mock-ups but the HOF and baseball cards are actual card images. Wonder why?

Here are the cover and an interior page of a 1955 catalog:





Note they were still selling football cards in 1955.
