Not issued, or issued differently in the team sets

I would swear that the Lynn is perforated on the left edge. ETA: it looks like it is also perforated on the bottom on the right.

[ALR-bishop]

Agreed, Cliff

What auction was that that claimed Fisk was traded?

That perforated edge is interesting, much finer than Topps usually did at the time. I wonder if the set was originally planned as a sheet or panel?

So a quick follow up question...on ebay a seller has a handful of groupings that he claims are "promo" sets along with packs of the same. These are three card groupings of issued cards (except for the Yankees) that look identical to the issued cards but have different numbers on the back (i.e., all of them are numbered 1-3.) Does anyone here have any additional information on this? Does anyone know if you can tell the difference between an "issued" pack and a "promo" pack any way besides opening it? The seller has several, including ones for the Astros, Phillies, and the familiar Yankees.

Is it perfed or just cut lines and some scanner artifacts magnifying the effect?
