Default WWII BB cards....1943 M. P. & Co....Show us your cards

The Michael Pressner & Co. issued this 24-card set in 1943. They were sold in Candy stores and 5 & 10-cent Department stores in the form of 8-card strips........


v................................................. .... original uncut 8-card strip (21 1/2 inches long) .................................................. ....v





Enlarged strip (split scan)







Cut singles......







Sure......you could say that these are some crude looking cards; nevertheless, in certain ways you could also say they are sort of unique.


Their ACC designation is R302-1. Which I don't understand, since these cards were not issued with GUM. Anyhow, if you have them, let's
see if we can display all 24 cards here.

I sold mine to a fellow board member not long ago. But I kept some scans.

Geez, Leon, knowing that you own this issue lets me know the hobby revolution has ended

No revolution on my part, Paul. I just like collecting with my friends!!
Here is a R302-1 from 1943 (as opposed to the R302-2 strip from '49 already shown)



and they (at least their colors and drawing method) remind me a little bit of a later version of these...

If your scan here of Joe DiMaggio is it's true colors, then this card is cannot be a 1943 issue.

The sky on the front is not a dark blue and the back printing is not blue; therefore, it must be an R302-2.

DiMaggio's R302-1 and the R302-2 cards' bio is the same; however, the difference is that the R302-2 is numbered #105.

So, I'm confused here as to which series your DiMaggio card is from ?

Love that one! I would have jumped on it in a second. Severe registration errors are my favorite.

Default 1949 M. P. & Co (R302-2) cards........

Six years after the 1943 strip cards were issued, M.P. & Co. produced a similar 25 card series. These cards differ in appearance from the 1943 series, in that the bios
on the backs of these cards are printed in Black ink (instead of Blue ink). And, the sky color on the fronts is a pale light Blue. I guess, they ran out of dark Blue ink





....



Hey guys, continue posting your 1943 cards....let's see if we can display all 24 subjects. We have attained the half-way point to this goal with 12 different cards

I love that set. It's the first "pre-war" set I ever completed, but even that is an issue. Those were the only set of cards issued during the war (other than exhibits) so they aren't technically pre-war.

There were some other sets issued during the war, most aren't well known though...Here are a few Centennial Flour series cards. The top is '43 and the bottom is '44. They issued them in some other years too...
