I've had a Jackie Robinson from the Parade Sportive set for many years. Just yesterday, I picked up an Al Campanis. The designs of the two cards are quite different. The Jackie Robinson is taller and very slightly narrower than the Al Campanis. The Robinson has an ad at the bottom, and the Campanis doesn't. The text underneath the "Parade Sportive" name at the top is different on the two cards. Also, the stock of the Campanis is a little yellower than the stock of the Robinson (possibly just due to age). |

I checked my archive and found a short, but informative article from the Feb. 1977 Trader Speaks that summarizes the sets: |

Mark, thanks for all the information. If my Robinson isn't authentic, it is hard for me to imagine what it is. Why would anyone creating a forgery insert an extra ad at the bottom? Maybe, like you said, it was some kind of promo piece. |

Paul, unsure what you mean but the scan I posted is the entirety of the article. There were no prices or anything like that listed. Looks like a neat little find, especially since I love those old Montreal Royals cards. |

Dave, that's wierd. On my screen I see nothing in your post after the colon. No scan. No nothing. |

I remember going to Montreal with my family in the late 70's and visiting Andrew Pywowarczuk (the author of the Trader Speaks article Dave posted) at his home. Top notch guy that made time to answer the questions about cards from a teenager. |

Thanks Dave. I think the article answers my question. The ad was present on the photos issued by one radio station, but not on the photos issued by another radio station. |
