The 3-1/2 by 4-1/4 inch cards were actually stickers with instructions on the back to peal back the card backing, then apply to a clean surface. The cards were sponsored by Sealtest Dairy and classified as set F343 in the American Card Catalog. This example presents very well on the front and back.

As part of the major promotional campaign in 1934, the Quaker Oats company partnered with Babe Ruth to produced this intriguing Ruth movie flip book. Under the title "Hitting a Homer," Ruth demonstrates his home run hitting prowess in a 32-page (frame) movie segment when flipped through quickly. When turned around and viewed from the other direction, it shows Ruth in a fielding mini-movie clip. Although well used by previous owners, this mini booklet is very secure with all movie pages fully intact. And while loose on front, the wrap around cover is well secured from the back (see hi-res images). Details about the "1934 Quaker Oats Ruth Flip Book can be found on the Old Cardboard website.
$310 This card is from a set produced in 1940 by Crowley's Dairy which still operates in Binghamton, NY, now under the name of Crowley's Food. The card is graded as a PSA 4 (EX-MT) with a very clean front and back.
Details about the Crowley's Milk set including a full Checklist and Gallery can be found on the OC website.
$310 This card is from a set featuring members of the Binghamton, N.Y., Eastern League team. The card pictures Jack Graham, who later played in the Major League for the Brooklyn Dodgers, the New York Giants and the St. Louis Browns. Most backs in the set are blank although a considerable number (including this card) were used by the company to distribute the cards to customers via US Mail. The "postcard" variations were not pre-printed with postcard formatting on the backs. This card is graded as a PSA Authentic with a very clean front and back. Other than the fact that it has been used as a postcard with "markings" on the back, the card is in EX-MT or better condition with very clean front and back. Note: some collectors (including myself) often prefer clean used postcards because they help date the cards and sometimes add interesting back stories.

$310 Giants star pitcher Christy Mathewson is the only baseball player in this 32-card set of "Famous North Americans." However, today, his card is the key to the set. The cards were designed to be cut from a four panel group printed on the back of a Post cereal box. The offered card measures 2-7/8 by 3-1/8 inches. It was very carefully cut and presents very well. It has a very slight crease in the upper left which is noticeable on the back but can barely be seen on front (see high resolution images for condition detail). Overall, a very clean example.
