A year of Lou Brock

1970 Dayton Daily News. I suppose in theory there are back "variations" if the paper was printed more than once depending on how they laid it out. There are also stat variations, as I guess they may have released this more than once, and updated the stats.

1970 Dodge Dart. I think there are only 2 players in this set, the other being Bill Freehan of the Tigers. I suppose these 2 are in the set because of the controversial play at the plate in the 68 Series, where Brock ran into home, and did not slide, and was tagged out.

Just a few items left from 1970, but these are very cool (in my opinion). Here are some 1970 Kelloggs cards. One is a blank backed hand cut proof, one is from the box, one never got opened (what kid could have done that in 1970 - not me) and the other is in a retail pack of apparently surplus Kelloggs cards which never made it into cereal. I also have another of the blank back Kelloggs (McCarver I think) which has pencil lines on the back.

I love these Kelloggs cards.

All the stuff is great you are sharing.

Topps Vault has some cool stuff, and I've got a few things from them, all of it proof sort of things. I could chase other stuff forever, so I've concentrated mainly on cards up to 1981.

Those posters are neat though, maybe someday when the kids are gone (5 of them) I'll turn a couple of their rooms into a shrine.

1970 JD McCarthy postcard.

1970 Greyhound pamphlet.

The last item for 1970 is this booklet put out by Converse. While undated, based upon information in it, it was probably 1970.

There may also be a blank back version of this one. There are some that are blank that were part of a window display that was filled with various players and an ad to find those daily in Dayton Daily News. I bought a sheet when I did a show in Dayton back in the mid-80's. It had a few already removed so we cut the rest up and sold singles. I think we had an ad in SCD so there must be a record out there somewhere...

Were the Daily News cards in the display newspaper, or heavier stock?

It was just newsprint..same coloring as the others. I don't recall if it was the size of a fully opened newspaper or bigger. Was a really cool find at the time. I collected Brooks Robinson at the time and the DDN was on my wants for a while (he wasn't on the sheet). I was very fascinated with this issue.
