Good value per box as well, with two autographed cards, a relic card, and a larger sized cabinet card per box.

Andy, I think you are being too kind. Plus the dressed-to-the-nines exhibit shows that the lettering was blue in 1945. The red lettering with the stars didn't appear until 1946.

Artwork is very cool. Makes me want to start collecting cards again.
