IS ANYONE FAMILIAR WITH THE 1968-70 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED
PROMO CARDS? I CAN'T FIND THEM LISTED IN ANY CATALOG BUT
SCG HAS GRADED SOME OF THESE CARDS.
APPROXIMATE VALUE???

That card looks like someone cut up the order form that was included with every poster and glued it to cardboard You can see the top of the Paul Casanova poster under Mantle's name.

No, these promo cards were from a sheet that was perforated.
Each side (all 4) had a perforation (one) where it had been
pulled apart. These are the cardboard back cards (color of back are the same as the bazooka backs).
There was a cardboard poster that the backs of these are white
if cut apart and became a card are a little larger.
Poster promo size: 2x3.125 inches
cut from the poster 2.25x3.25 inches

I feel like I just saw these in a recent auction. I feel like they are hand made and not a official release from SI.

Alert the fbi!!
 
YES, THESE CARDS HAVE BEEN IN TWO AUCTIONS THAT I AM AWARE OF ONE BEING HERITAGE AUCTIONS. CHECK THE SCG POPULATION REPORT. IF THEY WERE FAKES, SCG SLABBED THEM. THIS DOCTORING AND FAKING CARDS MUST BE STOPPED. I HAVE SEVERAL SLABBED BY SCG THAT I SUBMITTED. I NEED TO BE REPORTED TO THE FBI.
