Man, Wheaties are getting expensive.....

Neat piece for sure. I suspect it's trimmed on the bottom though, so as to remove the "Breakfast of Champions" "whole wheat goodness" yadda yadda message. By the description, it measures 3/4" short top to bottom, which seems like that would just about fit that breakfast message. I guess when you're looking at that level of scarcity you take what you can get, but some purists might balk, and especially at that price.

Just noticed this thread. This series of Wheaties is by far the toughest Wheaties issue to find. The mini cards issued in 1937-1938 are tough, but this set is impossible to find. Here are scans of the two cards I have, both are near full size as issued on individual serving boxes.

This is the full sized Gehrig for comparison. I have a Charley Gehringer mini and only type from that set I have ever come across. (tried to post but phone froze will post mini later

Also after post of Second Mini Gehrig perhaps the 1/1 description on ebay should be modified. (Still pretty rare but as we know Rare dose not always equal valuable) Aside from obvious size difference writing is the same but blue advertising box on mini's is square to the bottom vs a diagonal on the large format.

Very cool cards! I have always felt the mini Wheaties cards don't get the love that they deserve as they are very tough to find.
