If there are any 1971 Partridge Family trading card experts out there, help is needed in sorting this issue out! There were 3 series of cards each with a different frame color - yellow (1st), blue (2nd) and green (3rd).
These were issued in 5 cent packs and later (?1973-4) in 10 cent packs and in a variety of box shapes. They were also issued in cello packs.
The first series had a nickel fold wrapper with larger size ads (0-490-87-01-1), the second had a penny fold with smaller size ads ( 0-490-86-01-1). and apparently the third series may have been issued in the same wrappers and folds as the first series.
Can anybody shed some more light of this. Were the numbers of cards in the 5 cent and 10 cent packs different? Were all three series available in cello packs? Is there a way to distinguish the 1st and 3rd series packs?
I recently purchased a Partridge Family lot including boxes, wrappers, and cards. Some of the boxes are the 5 cent brick box type (including the version with the "NEW SERIES" sticker). I noticed in the post above that it was "NOT SEEN" as of November 2021. Is this considered rare? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
