On the advice of another member, I'm posting this question here (as well as the JL forum)....

Anybody know the measurements on the original JL cards? Someone told me 7.25" X 6", but would like confirmation. Thank you!

Regular and Jet Power cards are 6" tall by 5.75" wide. The ABC cards are 8" by 7.5" :wave:

Forgive my ignorance... the ABC cards- are those the original red cards (like the one pictured above)? Thanks.

No. The ABC cards contain the Wild Winner, Big Rig, Hairy Hauler, Pipe Dream and Twin Blaster cars. All made in 1971.

I love the way the back of those cards look. I wouldn't mind seeing those on the JL "Retro" cars!
