			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=11&#038;threadid=756404"><img alt="" src="http://www.footballcardgallery.com/pics/blog/1952_wheaties_champions_panel.jpg" title="1952 Wheaties Champions sports card panel" class="alignright" width="329" height="324" /></a>Today a collector on the Collectors Universe message boards posted pictures of <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=11&#038;threadid=756404">5 uncut panels of 1952 Wheaties Champions cards</a>.   From the looks of it, his panels are in great shape.  The Wheaties Champions set is a multi-sport set, and it includes women as well as men.  There are 10 cards on each panel, so the collector has 50 of the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.psacard.com/SetRegistry/SetComposition.aspx?c=6980">60 cards in the set</a>. </p>
<p>There are thirty athletes in the set, with each athlete appearing on both a portrait card and an &#8220;in action&#8221; card.  Six of the athletes are football players: Doak Walker, Otto Graham, John Lujack, Tom Fears, Glenn Davis, and Bob Waterfield.  I haven&#8217;t yet added the football cards in the <a href="http://www.footballcardgallery.com/">Vintage Football Card Gallery</a>, but since there are only a few of them, I&#8217;ll try to do that sometime soon.  There is currently <a href="http://www.nearmintcards.com/auction/380109931085/1952_wheaties/">a full set listed on eBay</a>, but I&#8217;ll probably pick up individual cards as they become available.  Surprisingly, though they were hand-cut from the boxes, most of the cards I see are in pretty good condition.  I infer from this that people saved the full boxes, and the cards I&#8217;m seeing were cut from boxes relatively recently.</p>
