SCARCE - The 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos are thought to be a "Test Issue" and are fairly scarce overall. These high quality B&W photos measure 5" by 7" and have a blank back. The bottom corner has "A8491" followed by a letter thought to be a card number (some letters are skipped). There are 9 different photos known but only 8 are baseball players (Ice Skater named Betty Schalow is the other).

The 1952 cards were cut from the backs of Wheaties Cereal boxes in 1952. When properly cut the cards will have round corners and measure roughly 2" by 2.75". There are 2 cards per player, one a portrait the other an action picture. Of the 30 athletes in the set, 10 are baseball players (2 cards per player). There are 20 different baseball cards in the set.

the 1964 Wheaties Stamps are 2-1/2" by 2-3/4" in size. There are 50 in the set.
