Actually, you may have a point there, Scott. A couple of the cards I describe were in with the Tarkenton items, so I assumed they must have something to do with the game. They were in uncirculated condition. Like Scott, this also led me to believe that this product may have been an idea that never quite got off the ground. If it interests anybody, perhaps they could check on the patent info to learn more. The paperwork I have seen all dates to 1961-63. Sorry, I don't have any more to share.
Jodi,
I think you may be correct about the Cleveland connection. When I received my contract today it came from Westlake, OH which is, in fact, a nicer suburb of Cleveland. Thanks for offering your feedback.
