Do you mind if I ask from whence they came? Curious about that as they are not ordinary items and I try to keep track for my research.

Here is a picture I believe from the article Craig/Dave references

Yes, that is the article and out of all the mock ups, I always liked the design on the Clemente the best.

I could see that Wynn card being done in a variety of all of the 75 Topps colors and that would have been a great looking (and tough condition sensitive) set.

Looks like they were alternatives for:

Hubbs 1963
Garrett, Morgan 1973
Wynn 1975
Clemente 1972
