1969 Unknown manufacturer iron-on t-shirt transfer

1977 Convenient Food Mart Iron-On. The Cubs lost that Sept. 25th game as part of their second half collapse that year, when I was a heartbroken 10 year old.

The 5x7's are Jay's Publishing Picture Packs, the one with Banks is from 1963 and the one with Santo is from 1965. I got them on eBay years ago for surprisingly cheap, each less than $30. The Banks iron-on transfer is from 1969, no idea who the manufacturer is but is was no doubt a Chicagoland regional issue that was meant to be put on t-shirts.

The James Earl Jones card: Impressive.....most impressive.

The Chewbacca: So, that is his wookie card, right?

Those Mickey cards are very cool. Visually, they are quite interesting.

Love those Star Wars cards. Star Wars was the whole reason that I got into cards, and then Kiss and Grease cards. I was 9 and had a huge crush on Olivia Newton-John

I had every card available, so I thought I'd pick up some 1978 baseball cards since the 1977 Reggie Jackson World Series was still fresh in my head.

Thanks

Correct - he was Wookie of the Year!

Darth Vader and Chewbacca are my two favorite characters, and not just Star Wars. Star Wars cards were also the first cards I really enjoyed buying. Always have been a baseball guy, but in 1977, Star Wars blew me away!

The Mickeys I stumbled upon at a show a few years back and felt they were worthy buys.

That would make sense, they were a promotional giveaway during that fateful season of 1969 along with the color photos (Jewel Foods), frosted glass tumblers, coffee mugs, bumper stickers (Dunkin' Donuts), dinner place mats (IHOP), etc., from Chicago area stores and restaurants.

Here are some Hank Aaron postcards that I just got back from PSA

[Mark70Z]

Man...those Aaron postcards are very COOL...

Delighted that Todd revived this thread, and coincidentally enough, he did so with one from a set of cards we wanted to show off:




Funny thing -- we're sure you're right and that those were on Team Flakes -- but we remember cutting them out of the backs of boxes
of some short-lived Bugles/Doritos-like snack food with a name like Zonkers or Zippity-Doos or Fiffle-Faffle or something...

Back to Bob's original post and the invitation to display some non-baseball, non-sports, '60s oddities as well -- does anyone else
remember these?


They came with a thick slab of minutely-ribbed transparent plastic, same size as the cards, which you'd place over a card
and then subtly wiggle them together so that the shaded areas of the image would appear to be solid and moving.
Kind of a sadistic set, really, with helpless tiny humans being eaten, crushed, or incinerated by dinosaurs, dragons, and giant robots...

those oddball dinosaur cards are cool. are they sportflics type cards?

My mom worked ay Krogers and would bring home a few for myself and the neighborhood kids every so often. Krogers stores aren't in the Chicago area anymore.

found this in a random set of boxes and took a while to research as it's blank backed, but seems to be called the 1998 rayovac mini and bvg seems to be the only company that grades them, not that i plan on getting it graded:

Adam,

"FINALLY" someone, other than myself, posts something cool of Brooks!

It's so funny to me that the majority of the cutouts from newspapers are never cut squarely. Did we not know how to cut w/scissors back in the day?!?

You gotta get it graded!

[Mark70Z]

I really enjoy seeing all of the oddball items and I'll have to post some more Brooksie junk if no one posts (since that's all I got).

Rob... Know you gotta have some unique Giants items to post.

David... Those Brock odd items are awesome; got some more?!?

Al... Keep 'em coming!

In the meantime how bout a pic that screams the '70's.

I was working at Home Base around the time Jordan was pitching for Rayovac. I have something similar and I think they were stickers. I remember they were inside packages of batteries, but they really weren't cards per se. He was all over the packaging and point of sale displays too.

I have them somewhere, but finding them right now would be a miracle.

very cool! if ya end up finding some one day, lemme know. would definitely be interested in seeing/purchasing one.

actually found this while trying to research and figure out where this came from. it was $5 shipped and figured I couldn't go wrong considering it's still in oem packaging. who knows. it could take off one day w/ how crazy jordan collectors can be. it's actually a nice compliment to it....

love that it says "best if used by jan 2005"
