1960s Topps mini mystery
Hey gang! Picked up this Topps flexichrome of Syracuse great and pro football HOFer John Mackey. Like most of these, I am amazed by the detail and the beauty they can produce through this process. Trying to figure out when and why this was produced. I don't believe the art was ever used. If I had to guess, based on the image and the timeframe when Topps employed this process, this was probably produced after Mackey's rookie year in 1963. Topps lost the rights to NFL players and moved to the AFL for 1964-1967. I am wondering if this was produced in 1964 before Topps was aware that they would only be doing AFL players. The flexichrome process was abandoned I think by Topps during these years, so this would not have been something Topps did after they got the rights to NFL players back in 1968. Anybody have any thoughts?
