Quaker Oats - (QUA-270-2/QUA-30-2) Great Moments of Sport


1951-52
(QUA-270-2/QUA-30-2) Great Moments of Sport
Quaker Oats
36 cards (3 football)

These cards are package issues, cut from the Quaker Oats box and have plain backs. Thanks to Matthew Zubrot for supplying the scan.
UPDATE (05-04-2023):  Originally listed as a 1961 issue, it is now thought to have been available at the end of 1951 or early 1952.
UPDATE (16-12-2025):  Nigel at CardHawk has provided scans of the other two football cards. I originally has card number 23 listed as '1953 F.A. Cup Final - Blackpool v Bolton Wanderers' but that card shows a horse race at Ascot. There are only three football cards in this collection.
