1926 Shotwell Red Grange Ad Back Football Cards
In 1926, the Shotwell Candy Company produced "Red Grange" candy bars. Packaged with each candy bar was a card of Grange. There were two series of cards: a 12-card series with ads on the back, and a 24-card series with blank backs. Some of the images appeared in both series. The ad-backed series is shown here; all of the cards have the same back. You can see a Red Grange candy bar wrapper on the Legendary Auctions web site and an empty display box on the Heritage Auctions web site.
A big thanks to my friends at MSG Sports Cards for the card images.
