Found this set from 1995 - Sorry I dont know the cat numbers.

Thanks Stampstudy! Great sheet!
I guess I should have placed this under another catagory because it includes all Orphan Annie Items.
But maybe if the thread grows the forum father of all knowing wisdom will do that for me! (hint)
Thanks for posting!

oops my bad ,,, I was using the all new topics section and did not notice this in the US covers sections.

That's okay---like I said I should have posted it there to begin
with but got so excited I placed it here.

Gussy, thanks for showing the cover from ebay..yes if its pricey its probably best to pass..the drawing could have been done by anyone who took art classes in school..if it was done by a known cachet artist it would be a different story !

ANYMORE ORPHAN ANNIE ITEMS OUT THERE????

It amazes me whats "out there" I used to send away boxtops for decoder rings and Lone Ranger rings etc....but of course in the course of childhood these things were damaged,lost well, they are long gone !! my 1949 Scott modern stamp album I still cling to !

I knew nothing about Orphan Annie before this post and now after reading the wikipedia article I see the very last installment of Orphan Annie was yesterday June 13th 2010 - Gussyboy1 was this the reason for the original posting or just a weird coincidence?

Yes, stampstudy--my post noted the demise of Annie-I
saw it on MSN and couldn't believe it!

Yes Phil, I too, see those items I had as a kid at the antique malls and want to buy them! LOL Like a Lassie Lunch box--$35 at the mall! Crazy! Then there's those items like the 1970's Hungry, Hungry Hippos game that my kids played--$20 at the antique mall!

1978 Hungry, Hungry Hippos and Rock 'em Sock 'em game on ebay....$15
Smiles on the grandkids faces as they play the games...PRICELESS!
