Hello,
I have been collecting the Quaker Pack-O-Ten SAMPLE cards for about 3+ yrs. Not sure if that is really the same as PROMO.
The Quaker cards came in 3 dif. series BIRDS,BRAVES OF INDIAN NATIONS and WARPLANES in the 1950's. The dif. between the regular Quaker cards and the SAMPLE is the SAMPLE cards were written on the backs of the cards in bold red written ( SAMPLE CARD )
