(Ripley's) Believe It or Not!
    Fleer - 1970
    Colonial Bread - 1970
    Kilpatrick's Bread - 1970
    Rainbo Bread - 1970

Notes: In 1970, Fleer manufactured four distinct sets based on "Ripley's Believe
It or Not" facts. The first, unnumbered, set was distributed in boxes and packs
(though the Fleer name and logo does not appear on the cards). With the same
images but with card numbers and promotional logos and text added, the 84
cards were issued as bread-package inserts for Rainbo, Colonial, and Kilpatrick
brands. The Kilpatrick's set is the most common of the three bread sets; the
Fleer box-and-pack distribution is noted for a large selection of short-prints and
extra prints. The checklist below is derived from Steve Lillard's Kilpatrick col-
lection, and we assume (but have not confirmed) that the numbering was the
same for the other bread-issue sets.

Steve (many thanks for the list!) states, "No matter how you look at it you
would have to eat a lot of bread to collect the Rainbo, Colonial, and Kilpatrick
bread inserts." I counter with, "Only the upper crust of society had enough
time to loaf around trying to collect the full set." Again, the Fleer version of
the card set did not have numbers printed on the cards.

Box: xx packs of 5 cards.
Common sets: approx. xxxx per box if collation were perfect.
