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:

Thanks for posting this! I was going to do the same a few weeks back, and went to the drawer I was certain this Sporting News issue was in, and it wasn't!

The Collectors ran ina couple of 70's hobby pubs, mostly BCN from what I've seen. I have a bunch scanned if people want to see them here.
Here's a Laughlin ad from the April 30, 1974 SCD: Last edited by toppcat; 07-28-2020 at 04:48 PM.

These are files that Marty attached earlier in the thread. They show how Mr. Laughlin (I assume at the very beginning of his print run) 'thickened' his cards by pasting the thin sheets together...
img498.jpg img499.jpg Has anyone ever tried to soak these cards to remove the glue/paste from the backs? I am completely assuming it's a terrible idea, because there's no gloss on the cards, the stock is very thin, and the thick glue/paste covers the entire card (plus, we don't know if it's water-based), so it seems they would deteriorate during any attempt to do so. Many, if not all, of the first 18 cards in the set (with the address on back) that I own have the same widespread, obnoxious adhesive infection that's pictured above, and I would love to POOF!! make it go away...if it did no damage. Does anyone have experience soaking these guys?? A terrible idea, right? Don't want to sacrifice any of my cards in a silly, ill-fated attempt.
