1934 GOLD Medal Food

[timn1]

All the cards mentioned so far in this thread are checklisted in my Old Cardboard article, as well as four players from the Des Moines Demons and a Red Faber which I have never seen but have been told exists by an ultra-reliable source. The 1935 envelope and "extended set" is news to me, however. I had assumed that all the non-Tigers and Cardinals players were from 1933. I'll try to look into the Lipset contention.

Incidentally, I don't mean to sound cranky, but if you have the Old Cardboard issues in question (#6-7) you might want to look back at them before posting anything more in the thread, since my articles in those issues represent the complete knowledge on these sets as of 2007. I'm not sure anything definitively new has been added since then--

Hi-
I hope I am not derailing this thread, but there has not been one on this set in a while. I traded for the Dean "postcard" example scanned below. I am sure this was done at home, as the only information on the back is a stamped address and stamp. If it helps this postcard shows these were most likely available in the Minneapolis area in 1934.

Last post by me...

Only reason I started a checklist on the R313A type2 is so MAYBE this info can be added to the SCD Standard Catalog in the future.

Beckett tried, but they combined both sets....

I dont have #6 issue of Old Cardboard with me, so I didnt have that info from 2006.

Sorry to bump a post a few times over the popular Barkman and REA posts, but this stuff (along with correcting the screwed up checklist of R314 type4) interests me far more than that stuff.

Frank,
I appreciate the effort. I am new to this set and was wanting to know if my set was complete or if there is more. You certainly helped. I still have questions, that I guess won't be asked or answered.

Interesting that the cards are being labeled Gold Medal Foods. On the Wheaties box it says the parent company's name is Gold Medal Flour. On one box it says, for recipes, write to Betty Crocker, Gold Medal Flour, Minneapolis, MN. Later became General Mills or General Foods. Either name works, not sure why the change is needed.

I had not noticed the used of Gold Medal Foods... At this moment I've only looked in the 5th edition of the Standard Catalog, and is has Foods. I always thought it was Gold Medal Flour.

The 5th edition Standard Catalog calls them 1934 Gold Medal Foods, (R313A), and lists 12 cards.

So I'm wondering where I got thinking it was "Flour" in my head...
