F277 Heniz Rice Flakes Aviators and Airplanes Lot of (27) Cards

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2021

The F277-4 series of Heinz Aviators is a wonderful set of famous aviators of the 1950’s. The set includes possibly the most famous aviator, Charles Lindbergh as the #1 card. Other famous aviators include WWI flying ace “Eddie” Rickenbacker, “Jimmie” Dolittle and three different cards of female aviators—Louise Thaden, Ruth Nichols and Phoebe Omlie. At some point, five cards were pulled from production, creating five scarce variations in the set. Amelia Earhart #2, Laura Ingalls #5, Howard Hughes #7, Edwin Musick #8 and Frank Hawks #9 are all very difficult to locate and sell for significant premiums to the regular cards in the set.

Cards included in this lot are: F277-4 Famous Aviators: 2, 3, 4(2), 6, 10(2), 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 and 23. Also included in the lot are F277-1 Famous Airplanes: 4, 8, 12, 13, 15, 17, 21 and F277-2 Famous Airplanes: 23. Great lot in VG to EXMT condition averaging mostly VGEX.
