1951 Berk Ross Football Cards
There are 72 cards in the multi-sport 1951 Berk Ross "Hit Parade of Champions" set. The eight football cards in the set are pictured here. You can see that there are perforations on either the left or right side of each card; this is because the cards were printed on panels of two, and the two halves could be separated. The cards were sold in small boxes with windows showing the athletes on the top two-card panel. You can usually find examples of the two-card panels on eBay.
