Does anyone know anything about these? Picked them up at a Chicago card show in the '90s; i don't think they're in any price guide. It's a punch-out sticker sheet of Pirates Players, including Clemente, and the copyright is 1960 by The Richard Lawrence Company. Pretty big, too--around 14" wide i'd guess (no i dont have a ruler).

Not sure. Really cool though. I'll give ya a 1.98 for it. :)
I've seen these a few times at flea markets in the Pittsburgh area, not as in as good as condition as your example, it seemed the the going rate was between $30 and $50 but with condition issues. I have no clue about the history of these. Very cool in my opinion.

I remember in the mid-70's, someone was selling these in mint condition at a very reasonable ($10?) price in The Trader Speaks.

If I remember correctly, I paid around $10 for it, at one of the Chicagoland Sports Collectors Shows run by Bruce Paynter (or one of the early Nationals in Chicago). Those CSCA shows were amazing. (Probably in the '80s, now that I think about it.)
Have never seen them since. the ARE pretty cool . . . and definitely oddball

Not to get off track but I remember those Chicago shows Of Bruce Paynter show at the Hillside Holiday Inn and a few other locations. I recall vividly binders and binders of t-cards which was pretty much the 1st place I ever saw a t-card. I bought a few for a buck each just so I can say I had one. I wish we could go back in time lol.
