Four panels have been graded by PSA. These intriguing collectibles – showcasing tremendous star content – reveal pictures of movie-personality images in monotone blue photos in one case, and portraits on caricature bodies in the other. The cards are still contained within intact cardboard "slides" that formed the inner parts of cigarette boxes. Overall condition is EX to EX/MT with some nicer and just a few lesser. Very seldom seen in this original, as-issued form! The collection (with highlights noted) includes:
