In 1969 Topps created an insert set that were B&W and featured a ‘deckle’, or some people call them ‘scalloped’, edge. Think these were made that way to give the look of the old school snapshot photos (did I tell you before that I LOVE snapshots). The cards are slightly smaller than a regular card at 2 ¼” by 3 ¼”. There were O-Pee-Chee Deckle Edge cards as well; they have a black facsimile autograph, instead of blue like the Topps, and are blank backed.

I do have a few Topps Deckle Edge proofs as follows:

I also have one of the ’69 Deckle printing plates used to make the card.

Mark, great 1969 Deckle Edge proofs. For some reason the '69 Brooks Deckle Edge proof is one of the those cards that keeps eluding me. I guess everyone has the odd card that shouldn't be but is their white whale.
