New FB Acquisitions

[LuckyLarry]

I've been out in California for the past 35+ days babysitting grandkids LOL! This AM I stopped by the USPO to pick up my mail. Here is one card that was waiting for me. 1968 Milton Bradley Joe Namath. You can see the "burlap" from the baseball cards at the top of the card.

This eBay purchase was not listed as a "Milton Bradley' card, it was listed as a Topps card. Including shipping this "collector grade" card cost me $23.48 I don't have a clue what the "book" price is. I was just happy to get it!

Isn't that a 1967 Milton Bradley card?

I am working on the 1967 Topps Set and needless to say the Namath card is one I do need to eventually pick up.

I thought the MB cards were a 1968 issue even though the FB cards are the 1967 design?

I don't know what they are called LOL! They are not mentioned in the Standard Catalog (I just checked). Included in the Milton Bradley "Win A Card" game were 1967 designed football cards, 1968 baseball cards, and 1968 Hot Rod cards (copied from a 1964 release).
