Rare bread issue from 1950 distributed in Michigan by the National Biscuit Company (now known as Nabisco headquartered in New Jersey) and in New Jersey by Fischer Bread and possibly by other companies as well. Condition-sensitivity is obviousl given the method of distribution and surviving cards are extremely rare today. The 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" labels are unnumbered and depict a colorized image of the player on a blue yellow or red background. This example of Hall of Fame Running back Charlie Trippi is clearly in POOR condition due largely to torn-off paper at the bottom. Despite this the card itself displays well a very rare regional card featuring a Hall of Fame player. *NOTE: Special thanks to our friend and customer Jeffery Payne for clearing up some inaccuracies in our original description for this item; his knowledge was a big help towards allowing us to get the description right!
