I think you are good to go ALFfan. No one knows more about these than Carlton

Thank you! Carlton and I have already been sending messages back and forth. It's kind of funny (or sad, depending) that the crappy $7 purchase I made yesterday just made my signed 1967 Topps set incomplete, and started a tough new project (signed Milton Bradley football). I should stay away from ebay.

I picked these up at the National for less than $1 / card out of a 5000 count box of '67s-'69s. 80 cards in all. Many of these are EXMT and better.

Carlton, I'm in Durham as well. I wonder where that falls in the list of "most MB collectors per capita"?

My second son is a pretty ravenous collector. That makes now at least 3 in the Bull City.

There were a decent number of games that found their way to the Old North State. Some of my childhood buddies from Charlotte still have their game boards. I bought out a very nice collection a few months ago from a long time collector in central NC.

Nice cards from the National. Those white letter 69s are screamers.

Nothing like being at a card show with time to kill, and thumbing through stacks of 1968 Topps baseball cards and 1967 Topps football cards, and finding MBs. Of course I've never come across a hoard like Taylor picked up, but thanks to his generosity, a couple of these now reside in my collection
I usually have a difficult time picking out the baseball cards, and I like to see the white stripe on the border to confirm. The football cards almost always show some of the "burlap" from the baseball cards. Thankfully there is no doubt when you come across MB Hot Rod cards, compared to the 1968 regular issue Hot Rod cards


Most of my MB Hot Rod cards show some of the "burlap" from the baseball cards
