Looking for some help from the experts

The collector who runs this site is a member here, but I didn't find a pre rookie prior to 1971 Kelloggs (there were a few later items that weren't from mainstream sets though): http://www.footballcardgallery.com/s...rch=joe+greene

I thought of one more thing..... In the current issue of GG, there is an article: The Super Collector - Joe Montana Super Collector Don Nguyen
by Jared Kraus

I no longer have the issue, but I was surprised to learn there are literally thousands of Montana cards - I think most of these were issued after he retired, but I would have never expected the count to be that high. Could someone check if any pre-rookies are mentioned?

No pre-rookies are mentioned. The rarest card discussed is a 1993 Japanese Mitsubishi Phone Card (train variation) that Jared had heard exists but has never seen.

Also, surprised there is nothing from KDKA of any of those Steelers.

From the description it sounds like this "card" was cut from a larger team composite. Did I read that right? If so, I don't consider this really a card and hate when people ruin historical collecting artifacts by cutting them up.

Jeff - thanks for checking the article - the Japanese card rings a bell.

I get that for sure. Just saw it when I was doing a quick search on the KDKA stuff and thought I'd check. Good luck with your search.
