It is sad it got broken up, it had so many great games in there and it was a fantastic piece of history.

I greatly appreciate the response and obtain some provenance on from where it came. It's sad the book was broken up, but I'm very glad to possess the card.
Val, thanks and you're right - I meant to type Orth.
Also appreciate everyone's take on the game, who played in it, etc.
In recent months I have been able to stumble into some pretty neat scorecards that have made me appreciate them a lot more than in the past.
