1964 Yuban Coffee NFL canvas prints - looking for info

[drivard]

I just picked up some of these recently. I bought them because they looked amazing and I have never seen them before. The Beckett big book does not seem to know much about them either. The big books lists the set as having 17 players. They are prints/lithos of the 17 players. The paper stock is a type of canvas. I figured I would reach out on the board to see if anyone can contribute any more information. I am especially curious to find out how you would actually get one of these back in 1964 (i.e. mail in offer, inside a case of coffee, other?)

I have provided a link to an image of the Don Meredith. It was just a little too big for my scanner and so I had to resort to my phone. The photo does not do the item justice. The color and clarity are amazing. All the others I purchased are of the same high quality. The stars in the set include Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas, Paul Hornung, Fran Tarkenton, Frank Gifford and YA Tittle.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Doug
