Joe Squires (another Net54 member) and I wrote an article on Wheaties football panels for Gridiron Greats magazine a few years ago. It has a brief history of Wheaties cereal and how General Mills got into using athletes on their boxes in the '30s as part of their marketing. I can send you a copy if you want of the article ... just PM me your email.

Yes, if the panels are not trimmed, they are the size of a cereal box. HOWEVER, Wheaties boxes back then were quite a bit smaller than they are today so don't be surprised. The boxes were approximately 6x8 and so these panels easily fit into 8x11 sheets.

Hope this helps.
