1954 Red Heart Strange and Unusual Chicago Cubs Checklist

Who would ever collect these weird, mostly unknown cubs memorabilia? Well, I do, and if you do, then you're a hard-core Cubs collector.

Number of Cards

1954 Red Heart has 33 cards which there are 4 Cubs players

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are standard-size 2-5/8” by 3-3/4”

Basic Features

The Morrell Company manufactured the 1954 Red Heart set, which was distributed locally with Red Heart brand dog food. Each series was given a distinct solid backdrop color behind the player's portrait, in either blue, green, or red, and was issued in three separate series of 11 unnumbered cards. The red-backed cards are the most difficult of the three.

A diamond-shaped box with the player's name appears below the player, and his team name is given at the bottom. A biography, statistics, and the Red Heart insignia are printed on the back.
