The 1968 reprint versions pop up here and there. Perhaps someone/something else was responsible for that short term printing run?? The backs are a lot more colder with the typeface and sizing changes (more corporate, less homemade looking?), so I'm glad he went back to his original design with the further printings. Much more fun, so to speak. :)

If anyone is interested, I did do a weird and kinda disjointed video about the 1967 Laughlin Mantle earlier in the year. May find a couple of laughs there: :D

I doubt someone other than Bob printed the 1968 version. He used the same typeface in Baseball Quarterly and some newsletter/ catalog. Just n opinion here. Marty is the most knowledgeable on this and he's also stumped. Let's see some more uncut Laughlin!!!

Not a favorite of mine but it's still pretty cool. Anyone else big Laughlin guys here?
