Anyone ever heard of "Flicker Flippers" circa 1962-1963
I was wondering if anyone on the board remembers a product called Flicker Flippers from the early 1960's?
These were supposedly flip books showing various baseball (and other sport) stars in action. I just purchased Johnny Vander Meer's signed contract and I noticed that an eBay seller is also trying to sell a similar contract signed by Jimmy Foxx in 1962. Any info that you have would be greatly appreciated. Here is a photo of the Vander Meer Flicker Flipper contract that I just purchased. Thanks!

Jeez Scott. How the hell did you nail Vandy's contract? You've had an incredible year and it still has 10 weeks to go!

A $9.99 BIN on eBay a couple of days ago. Pretty cool! You can buy the Jimmy Foxx version of this contract for only $1500. For under $10, I like my deal better LOL

I have Fran Tarkenton's contract (and related paperwork) for this game, as well as a couple of game cards featuring Bob Feller. They are playing card size, with machine-rounded corners and are on thin stock. Does anybody know how the game was supposed to be played?

Topps did some foto flip-books in the early '60s, but we're not familiar with the "Flicker Flippers" title -- could've been changed between the time of the contract and the time of publication, but "Topps Archives" guy "toppcat" Dave would know...
Not to derail the thread, but Jodi's note intrigues us -- for all the games we've catalogued, including several Feller-endorsed, we can't think of one with Feller-backed cards (maybe it's just too early on a Sunday). Jodi, we'd much appreciate a scan...
