Does anyone have any ideas how a 67 FB card would be cut next to a 68 BB card?? Were the 68 BB and 67 FB cards on the same sheets, or were the sheets themselves from the same group of card stock?

The Ben Davidson card is from the 1968 Milton Bradley board game "Win-a-card". The board game had 1967 T FB, 1968 T BB, and some Topps Roadster cards.

I just picked this one up off of ebay. I was so excited to come across the Tab variation of this that I didn't examine the picture all that well before bidding. Anyone have any idea what the gray foam material is around the inside? Given the wear on the inside and out, I would say this is legit. Just not sure if it came with this or not. Never seen another with that rubbery material on it.

Thanks Randy....this makes perfect sense. In comparing the color of the back of this 67 FB card, it matches the color of my 68 BB MBs cards perfectly. And as with the 68 MB BB having a slightly different color on the back than the regular issue, the same is true with the 67 MB FB. Thanks again

I have noticed that the Yankees and Mets are the only two teams with 1967 Coca Cola caps made that way, apparently the bottling plant in the New York area had a unique way of manufacturing the caps. Each teams caps were made by the local bottling plant.

Thanks Cliff. Very interesting. Glad to hear it is something from the factory.

Great card Adam.

Cliff---I have all the 1980 yellow oddities you mention ( although in several the name is not affected), except Cox. Do you have it and if so can you pm me a scan or describe it. Also, I have a Scarberry which seems to be similar to the ones you list
