I bought this Joe DiMaggio card on eBay (it was fairly cheap). Apparently distributed to subscribers of the Sport Hobbyist Magazine in 1968. I cannot find any information in the Standard Catalog, or very much online. Anyone have any information on it?
The back is blank, but if you hold it up to bright light, you can see a very faint text (looks like typewriter print) advertising more cards or something from the set. I thought I saw "1972" in the text also, so it might not be 1968.
Thanks.

Glad to see you finally post on here Sean. Hopefully some one can give you a definite answer on your card.

Bob Lemke emailed me on Friday and said he actually recalls seeing examples of these in the past, but never got information on them to add a listing. So I think I have a legit card after all!
