1966 or 68 Deckle Proofs
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160026928526...84.m1438.l2648
Did anyone follow this ebay auction that did not sell? Anyone know anything about these? I know I've never seen them before, but SGC apparently had enough faith they were real to slab them.

a quick search on ebay shows many proofs in the 20-100 range. I don't know if there is anything special about the one posted..

These appear to be from a set that was never issued, unlike the '69 and '74 deckles. Although the Yaz image is the same as found in the '69 deckle set, the other players are not so found, and the presence of Alomar in a Milwaukee Braves uniform when he last played there in 1966 is perhaps why seller is selling it as a 1966 set. It may be from 1965 as Woodeshick was traded from Houston to St. Louis during that season and is shown wearing an airbrushed cap. Seems to me that by '66 the Houston team was the Astros and the Braves were in Atlanta, such that ye olde airbrush would have hit the Alomar and Adlesh cards too if '66 was the year of production. The SGC date of '68 is likely wrong, not only for the above reasons but because Woodeshick was done in 1967, released in October by the Cardinals. Puzzling is the Bob Johnson Rochester Red Wings card, as he last played there in 1961.
Neat cards in any event. Edited to add that Adlesh's hat is airbrushed too, although Alomar's Milwaukee hat is not. Adlesh is wearing an Astros uniform, meaning the photo is post-1964.

1968 Deckle Proof Sheets
There are 3 different 1968 Deckle proof sheets of the same 9 players. Yaz is the only one to appear in the 69 set. The sheets differ some in player placement but the main difference is the color of the autos...red, blue and black. Blue is apparently the scacest. I have the 3 sheets, here are 2. In full sheet form they are tough to find. I am not a graded card guy, but if this Yaz is in the PSA master registry set, it would be a fairly tough one. If it is in the master list and the list includes all 3 color autos, that would really be tough
