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
