These come in all colors and in different sizes. I'm not even sure the TPG's should encapsulate them since they are basically newspaper clippings, but PSA, SGC, and BVG all do.

I have only seen green and yellow. Have you seen others? I do think they should be graded AUT as they are being done. As far as size goes, I equate them to strip cards.

I've seen other color combinations. The following attached ones aren't mine (and includes the one from Leon's ebay link).

Very Cool. Thanks Gary. I haven't seen the yellow one with the white background. I will try to post some more later.....

Leon, FYI, my example of the WaJo stamp has the same color pattern as yours (I assume the one you showed is yours). I don't recall ever seeing a WaJo with a different color pattern, but it seems that others probably exist.

Here's my Harris--Green diamond on a red background. All the ones shown here and in the OC gallery have a "2" on the ball in the UL corner. Does that mean that they're from the second series (as on the full page shown in the first post), or is that just to make them more like a postage stamp? First-class postage at the time was 2 cents.

Gary, you said they come in different sizes. Do you have measurements? Mine matches the size shown in OC, 1-1/4 x 1-5/8.

Also. I noticed that mine doesn't say "Rinkeydink" in the cartouche at the bottom. Could this be a missing ink pass, or is it possible that some other newspaper used the images but couldn't call them Rinkeydinks?

BTW, a complete set sold in 2008 through Goodwin. http://www.goodwinandco.com/LotDetai...ventoryid=3061 Their description says that there were also 10 comic strip characters. Those must have been the first series.
