Mayfair Candies produced this perforated card set in 1937. Each unnumbered card features an unidentified football action photo on the front and a football play description on the back. The set involved a contest whereby the collector tried to accumulate "100 Yards" based on football plays described on the cardbacks. The offer expired on February 15, 1938 and winners could exchange the cards for an official sized football. The ACC designation is R343 and each card measures approximately 1 3/4" by 2 3/4" and was unnumbered. Since there are no card numbers and no identification of players, we have cataloged the cards below using the first several words found at the top of the cardbacks. We have also included the cardfront photo's background color and number of players featured in the image for each card to help catalog the cardfronts. Note that four cardfronts exist with two different cardbacks each. Red Grange is the only player of note that has been positively identified. [Collapse]
