1961 PETER'S MEATS TWINS

    This is a neat looking set.  1961 was the first year that Minnesota had a major league team.  To commemorate this even, Peters Meats put a 26 card set on thier wrappers.  Just think, families would have to eat at least 26 pounds of hot dogs during the summer just so Johnny could complete his set.
    The cards can be found in three forms; the main card, picture and bio cut at the black borders, the card with the yellow and advertising around the card with the wrapper tabs cut off, and the entire wrapper..  There are a very small quanity of complete wrappers in the hobby today.
    The yellow wrapper with green and red printing that surrounds the cards make this a colorful set with complete packaging wrappers  There are two different wrappers, a vertical wiener and a horizontal "Porkette" (breakfast meat).   It is my belief that the Porkette wrapper is much more difficult to find.
Below is a scan of a whole wiener package.  There is the bottom portion of this one folded under. 

I have one complete set of complete wrappers.  Most of this set has not been folded.  One is a Porkett and the other 25 are wiener wrappers.  Most of the wrappers are mint.   $4500.00
