I always thought the Dietz wrappers were especially colorful (as are the spectacular intact packs), but often wondered what the Large Magic Color Book obtained for 50 wrapper coupons looked like. I think the book below is a likely example---it has 1932 copyright by "Invisible Color Print SalesCo." & is otherwise generic with no price on it---possibly sold as a stand alone coloring book or given as premiums by Dietz or the Bakery companies that also issued the Magic Cards of Knowledge.

Has anyone else ever seen one of these neat coloring books with a Dietz mailing envelope?

By the way, if anyone doubts the claim on the back of the Gorilla card, I'll introduce you to one of our famous "Iowa Jumping Gorillas" next time you pass thru town---call ahead, as they must be scheduled in advance.

Very, very nice Don. I believe Todd outbid me a few months back on a bakery version, maybe he'll post it.

Jim---since I can't catch the Merrytown Caboose I'll have to chase something else ----has anyone ever seen the Dietz coupon mentioned on the dealer insert? Those kids got their money's worth out of their pennies back then----since there were only 50 Magic Knowledge cards & 100 packs of gum per box, I guess only half the packs had the coupon in question----I can imagine the kids ripping open the pack looking for the coupon---I bet the dealer threw the coupons out pretty quick---anyway, I'm not about to open the packs to find one & wonder if anyone else can show it?

Beautiful stuff Don, I have nothing to add but my admiration

Hey Don, can you email me?

Tom---nice ones--the only few I have seen have been the brown/blue tints, as mentioned in the guides---I guess the 50 different titles for these larger cards are identical to those of the numbered Bakery Issues, but I don't believe I have ever seen a complete list of the 50 titles.
On the other hand, after exhaustive efforts (I checked Benj/NSB) I can only find 3 titles for the 80 different smaller cards inside the gum packs--can anyone add to this?

You can see the Dietz coloring cards in the box setup that REA just sold. Do the cards I have have an ACC R-number?

R212 (NSB)

Tom---the Dietz back cards are ACC#R212. The Bakery issues are ACC#D50. I have not seen all 50 cards from either issuer, but would guess the topics (front designs) are the same.

because REA said they hadn't seen one before although they are never extremely heavy in nonsports. The box sold for an astounding sum of $18K. The three I Have have had, at one time, some light water applied as they do have some very muted colors. They aren't really warped or anything though. Bought in a single lot on ebay for about $6-$10 a couple years back......
