You will find a vast resource of vintage Cubs baseball cards, feel free to view pictures of my collection, read commentary on the players, teams, sets and sub-sets.
The 1962 Post baseball card set consists of 200 cards that measure approximately 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". Cards are hand cut from the backs of boxes of Post Cereal. The horizontally designed cards are grouped numerically by team.
Very little about card backs is ever discussed, but the reverse side can be very interesting. They complete a picture by providing information that people might not know.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the cards were a wealth of information. Fun, funny, and useful facts with trivia about all aspects of baseball.
The cartoons on the back appealed to kids and adults alike. Some included quizzes about baseball history or baseball rules.
So today I will start a new chapter in looking at the reverse side of the 1950s and 1960s Cubs baseball cards. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Sorry I had to watermark the photos, but there is a blog out there that steals my ideas and steals all my photos.
