post-war guys...your oddball items?

I'll have to dig out some more scans but for now this is one of my favorite Topps oddball pieces, from the 1976 Cloth Prototypes:

Hey Dave, I think I have asked this, but do you know which version you have ?
SCD reports there are 4 different versions. I think I have them in thick felt, thin felt and silk. I have a 4th pair but can not tell if it is fact different from the others.

Al, I believe mine is silk as it has the backing and feels essentially the same as the 77's. I have one or two of the other types and may have inadvertently sold a couple as well thinking they were all the same textures. I want to get all 4 textures at some point and it appears a supply of these is slowly enetering the market over the past few years. The thinnest one I had came from a roll that had quite a few Dyers on it and which I cut off myself around 1990 or so. It was just the Dyer felt repeated vertically and rolled up although I can't remember if there was a tube in the middle. I've at least seen all 4 types now and they can be differentiated.

Here are my favorite oddball cards which where found on the back of Nabisco Team Flakes cereal boxes in 1969. I like the way these cards look and the player selection is awesome.

Derek,

Can you please send to my attention when you have an opportunity; thanks!
No one wants a team issue photo with the middle name spelled incorrectly...

Regards,
