The V94 OPC premiums from the same album measure 6.5 x 8.5, so the size seems like it would align with the other premium in the book issued in Canada. This is thicker than the V94s though. This was obviously a larger image but it doesn’t look heavily trimmed. I really have no idea what it is but regardless, I do like the image.

Well now, based on the size and stock it could be a paper book cover. I wonder which book this one could be from.

The back and stock resemble the Quaker Oats card. Given that the book above has a Quaker Oats ad on the back and a matching pose photo, I wonder if this was from something Quaker Oats ad-related in Canada?

This photo had previously bugged me for years and I put it away for a while only to have it bug me again now. I just would love to know where the heck it came from - book cover, ad, poster, premium...

Hey Treasure, can you post a larger version of that picture? I (along with everyone else viewing this thread, I'm sure) really want to figure out what in heck is going on with that disappearing extremity.
