Default 1969 Topps deckle edge

This was kind of a neat find. I had these 1969 black and white deckle edge cards in a box with some old football cards so I had completely ignored them. I never sorted them before, but it turns out I have nearly the complete set of 33 (missing one, the #6 card). Too bad they're in such mediocre condition (and one of the most valuable ones (Mays) has a paper tear).



I can't remember for sure...did these come in the same pack as the orange-back 1969 regular issue Topps cards, or were these sold separately? What's strange is that I only have 4 spares (duplicates). You'd think that in order to randomly assemble a nearly complete set you have to buy many times more than the number of cards in the set.

What's even funnier is that I can identify most of these guys just from their faces.
