I’m not sure that John is correct. I got mine as a 12 year old at a sporting goods store in Southern California in 1969 when I bought some cleats for PopWarner football. I can’t remember if they were in the box or at the register. I never went to a card show, but I guess it’s possible that they gave them away there too, but I would think more copies would be around if they gave them out to collectors.
