Wow...yet another wrinkle is added to the 1967 Laughlin mystery. Toppcat, you're killing me!!!
 Look at the artwork in the ad. It's different from what is found in the Laughlin World Series set. What's most notable to me, and what immediately jumps out, is Matty's head. The cards we know have his head casually tilted back, but the ad features it more straight up and down. Plus, the typeface is different (not handwritten), his head doesn't break the top border, the pinstripes aren't identical, the baseball (which is larger and shaped differently) contains actual stitching, and the '1905' is also completely different...and there are other variances as well. Here's the ad (left) compared to a standard card (right)... 1967laughlin02mattyAD:CARDcomp.jpg Now the question becomes, was the ad simply thrown together based on pre-production artwork (I actually have a bit of evidence that seemingly disputes the timing), or were there actually cards produced corresponding to/similar to that specific layout??

Found this nugget in the early June 1970 issue of The Ballcard Collector. I live in NYC environs so bought the 1970 issue as a kid but I've never seen that it might have been a limited release. Interesting.

In regards to the 71 Fleer WS cards, just wanted to thank the various posters in this thread for highlighting the differences between the cards issued in 71 and then "re-issued" in 78. I recently bought a second set of 71s to upgrade the set I already had and when I first saw the new cards there was a noticeable difference between those and the 71s I already had...I checked this thread and was able to identify that my new set has the lighter, cream colored backs and are the "re-issued" cards from 78. Now I have a set of each, thank you again.

I've posted a look at the Feb 25, 1967 Sporting News Cover that featured Bob Laughlin's artwork:
