You may recall these little developing solution cards were one of the first Topps issues in 1948/49 and that both penny and nickel packs were used to market the set. Well, the 5 cent packs held a six card panle and Jeff unearthed a scan on Eaby recently showing this rare bird:

That is the first 6 card panel I have ever seen from this set-wow!
