"Green Back" variations of Parkhurst's 1955-56 card issue that were available in specially-marked boxes of various Quaker Oats cereals and produced in far lesser quantities than the regular Parkies of that year, a promotion to save and send in cards in exchange for prizes mentioned on the reverse of the boxes also contributes to the sets scarcity and makes them coveted amongst collectors. Offered here, we present this starter set of the 1955-56 Parkhurst Quaker Oats release that includes twenty-eight (28) of the seventy-nine (79) cards found within the checklist, including ten (10) that were recently graded at PSA.
