The B/W one also has player photos inside....There was a warehouse find of these programs in the late 80's and they really aren't that difficult to locate (though some people still put crazy money on them)..

Bill,
I would tend to agree. I think it's probably the reverse of using left over programs from one year, the next season. Bluefield probably ran out of color programs and did a quick B&W scorecard for the end of the season. I've found with the warehouse find of the B&W Bluefield scorecards, they're actually easier to find than the color programs.
The Rochester Red Wings ended up doing something similar in 1971.
