Mets - Martin, Ryan, Seaver

[Touch'EmAll]

Recently picked this up, have done little research, honestly no clue what it is. Has anyone ever seen this card. The guy I bought it from claims it is hand cut from unknown source, has sold several over the years, but does not know specific origin. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I bought one a while back maybe 2 years or so ago. posted it a few places and never got to the bottom of it. back then he told me he only had 10 or so. saw a few more that sold over the days, one that was even scuffed up a bit...

never found any info on it, basically came to the conclusion that it's a homemade card and he's leaking them out slowly making $25-$50 a pop....

would love to be wrong...

I don't recall ever seeing Ryan or Seavers name written that way - First initial followed by balance of name spelled out.

I'm guessing this is a modern creation using scans of team photos from circa 1970. Something about the typesetting does not look authentic to the era.

Dude, thanks a lot for figuring this out. So does this mean its a card? Looks like the intent was for it to never be a card - so is it not? An old Bazooka box cut out has the dotted line, so the intent was to be a card. An old Wheaties box back, like the 1935 picture frame cards never had dotted lines, so are they "cards", or simply box cutouts that were never intended to be "cards"?
