I wouldn't be surprised if someone came across a large stock of these at one point, though.

Here is a listing for the machine header card. Neat set!

Happy collecting!
I've seen that gum-ball machine header for the 1972 NFLPA Iron-ons before. What caught my eye was the fact that it lists Bob Lilly (next to last, right column), and he didn't have a card in that set to my knowledge. If anyone has seen one, I'd love to see it!
