R313A Gold Medal Foods / Flour / Wheaties

[abothebear]

I remember that thread. That might have been the first non-cardinals/tigers I saw).

I have wondered about the number sent in envelopes too. I won an auction with an envelope that included 6 from the R313A-1 set. I assumed that they all came together. I vaguely recall seeing a grouping of 5 with an envelope, which I thought was odd at the time. I hesitate to bring it up because I can't verify it.

The auction was a lot that had 20 total cards, the other 14 being the very thin stock R cards. All 20 were sent to me in the envelope, So more than 6 can fit into a Gold Medal Foods envelope (I don't know what the postage limit would be).

I wonder if the number that were sent out had to do with what was sent in to receive them (box tops, coupons, ???).
