Those are great! Are they 2.25” or 3/3.5”? You almost never see the three similar but different SF Giants (Mays, McCovey and Marichal).

Oh, wow. A totally different size than their kind of Giants counterparts.

Thanks for posting that ad Guy. I had always assumed those were 1969 just based on the MLBPA design from that year. I also need McGinn as well as Jones. In addition, I need McGinn and Staehle from the 1970 set. Have you seen a pic of McGinn from either year? Also, I could be wrong but I put the team logo pin with my 1970 group only because on the curl it says "Best In Sports" rather than "Made in Canada" which is on the 71's.

I love the 1970 set , I'm missing 4 , Brand, McGinn, Staehle and Sutherland, You may be right about the Logo I will check the curl later.

These are so rarely seen, I have to assume they were only issued in Canada. Do you have any information on their distribution?

Yes I do, these were sold at the concession stands @ Jarry Park or you could have ordered them through the Expos 1971 yearbook for 40 cents each, The Mack Jones and Dan McGinn are extremely rare I would gladly pay up to $200 for a McGinn
