The Dayton Daily News evidently did not want to continue on with the 160 card set so they agreed in 1980 to print one card per 100 years. So in 1980 they printed a Hank Aaron #3 representing their first 100 years(1880-1980) & the next day printed a David Lopes #998 representing their 2nd 100 years(1980-2080). The next card will be printed in 2080, that is if the Dayton Daily News is still around. Neither of these two cards have ever been discussed or catalogued.
Thanks, Adam

I'd like to add a little to the 100-year statement above. I have one of the 1980 David Lopes "cards". The text below the card indicates that the Dayton Daily News planned to run a card once every 100 years, but they were clever about it. The next one was not intended to run in 2080; rather, the smart alecks at the paper designated every day as the beginning of a unique 100-year period. I know only of the Aaron and Lopes, but I'm hoping they printed a lot more of these with different players. Not sure they did though.

I'd include a pic of the Lopes card, but I don't know how to upload the pic.

Fortunately, the Dayton Daily News is on Newspapers.com, so let's see what we can find.

The Hank Aaron was printed on June 2, 1980, and Lopes June 3. Doesn't look like there were any more.

While I do have one, mostly because it’s a required PSA master set item, I’m not a big fan. Certainly there will always be a question about where you draw the line with all of the different pieces out there. And it’s not always all that obvious whether any given item should be included, when it comes to this piece, it sure seems like this one probably should have been excluded.

Great thread and a great, unique, set.

I personally think they’ve stuck around as a”set” due to being numbered, having a “front” and “back” and being promoted as a collectible set.

I prefer to fold them as intended - makes them feel more like a true card.

Can you share an image? Not sure I have seen these?
I absolutely love these newspaper "cards".
Have a wide variety of them and will buy any I can find at decent prices.

This is all great stuff. Not sure I realized the 1970 DDN cards also had other sports represented.
