D359 Rochester Baking Question

[Archive]

Posted By: Andrew

The backs of D359 Rochester Baking cards indicate the following:

"When you have the full number [a full set] return them to our office and get a set of "Mail of all Nations Cards" or a megaphone."

Does anyone have any information on these Mail of all Nations Cards? Or even a scan?

At the time, I may have opted for the megaphone.

Hi Andrew,

I had noticed and wondered the same thing until I won this card on eBay within the past year or so.

I know Pete C. has many if not a complete set of these and I think the larger "Mail of All Nations" cards as well but I'm not sure how many of them have the Rochester Baking reverse as I think this set was issued with a couple of different backs.

I thought it was neat to pick up an example being that it is referenced on the Baseball cards.

I have to agree with the earlier poster, however, that I probably would have opted for the Megaphone as well

Here is an example of what one of the larger Mail of All Nations cards look like. I own around ten with Voskamps advertising on the backs and one with an advertisement for Batastini Bros. Bakers.

Scott and Zach,

Thanks for posting scans. Those are great cards.

Does anyone have a guess as to how the mail of all nations cards (large and small) compare to D359 Rochesters in terms of rarity/scarcity?
