Default Having your head in the sun is warmer than having it just in the clouds

Since I first became aware of its existence a few years back, I have loved the Mungo that Chris showed...he's got one foot firmly planted on solid ground, a high leg kick over the moon, and his head in the sun. Talk about conceptual...

It is the only one that I own, but I do really like others from the same series as well.

Brian

The Wheaties mini (or single size) are tougher to find, but they're cool because they are about the same size as early Topps so they fit in a top loader.

Yes, they are really tough to find. It is believed that the single serve boxes were only sold in restaurants and cafe cars on trains and not in grocery stores. I talk a bit about this in my Wheaties article.

Do you know if the single serve checklists are the same as the full size (and did they make them all years)? If your article is posted somewhere I'd really like to see it. Thanks.

All the talk of Wheaties panels had me foraging for some new Gehrig stuff. Picked these up on Ebay. Odd item. Advertising proof sheets that were from the estate of an advertising guy who worked for the company with the GM account in the 1930s. The seller seems totally above board so I took a shot. Certainly not something you see every day.

(If this is some knock off or fantasy piece. . . let me have it with both barrels.)

Default Very Nice

Here is my 1935 Wheaties Jimmie Foxx. I sent it in few years back and it is still 1 of 1 with none higher. I thought it would grade higher, but upon calling SGC they said the small amount back residue why the grade. No creases and cut full.
