Just bought this one a few minutes ago. I can't wait to get it. I paid a bit more than I wanted to, but the centering is really nice and eBay was offering 8% back in eBay Bucks (a little over $15) today.

Jason, glad to see you back. Recovery can be a slow, arduous task. Take it one day at a time, and know we're all pulling for you.
 Some beautiful cards as always, guys.

Jerry, your Wheaties trays are simply beautiful. How were they available at the time the cereal company issued them? I don't have a Krause Standard Cat in arm's reach at the moment.
Regardless, dazzling pickup. Congrats. For what it's worth, that Musial outshines all of Stan the Man's cards. What a radiant pose--perfection!  --Brian Powell

They were attached to the back of wheaties boxes in 1952 as a premium. Far as I can tell there was just 4 different trays issued, these 3 plus a Jackie Robinson which is by far and away the highest valued. The musial is my favorite also. Last edited by TheBig6; 03-18-2016 at 02:28 PM.

Also, as others have mentioned the Musial is very nice; I like the other two, but the Musial is classic.

Jerry, I should have mentioned this in my initial thread to you. I really like your use of the small easels to display them. Great idea.
I do know for a fact that the Jackie Robinson tray uses a beautiful photograph by the legendary Ozzie Sweet, SPORT magazine's best photographer for many years. Thanks for enlightening us about how the trays were offered by Wheaties. Wow. That's the key for these as conversation pieces. I hope the stock boy was extra careful when he unpacked the cases and set the boxes with the trays on the grocery store shelf. Can you say, inherent condition sensitivity? ---Brian Powell Last edited by brian1961; 03-19-2016 at 03:52 PM.

92 down, 8 to go for my Top 100 Display. Have really developed a liking for this 1939 Play Ball set. Along with Big Poison below, have relied on the same set for Arky Vaughan, Joe DiMaggio, and Bill Dickey.
The odd shape is a relic of the photo...expecting card to be much more rectangular when it arrives. Waner_1939 _PB.jpg
