Jeez Scott. How the hell did you nail Vandy's contract? You've had an incredible year and it still has 10 weeks to go!

A $9.99 BIN on eBay a couple of days ago. Pretty cool! You can buy the Jimmy Foxx version of this contract for only $1500. For under $10, I like my deal better LOL

I have Fran Tarkenton's contract (and related paperwork) for this game, as well as a couple of game cards featuring Bob Feller. They are playing card size, with machine-rounded corners and are on thin stock. Does anybody know how the game was supposed to be played?

Topps did some foto flip-books in the early '60s, but we're not familiar with the "Flicker Flippers" title -- could've been changed between the time of the contract and the time of publication, but "Topps Archives" guy "toppcat" Dave would know...
Not to derail the thread, but Jodi's note intrigues us -- for all the games we've catalogued, including several Feller-endorsed, we can't think of one with Feller-backed cards (maybe it's just too early on a Sunday). Jodi, we'd much appreciate a scan...

Sorry fellows, a scan is impossible for me to do at this time. I can tell you that this game appears to have originated out of Cleveland IIRC. It has nothing to do with Topps, but was rather the creation of an independent game or novelty company.

No problem. BTW, what is Cleveland IIRC? I'm not sure that I know what IIRC stands for. I received my contract today. I thought I would send a scan of the complete contract which does a pretty good job of describing what a Flicker Flipper is (flip book). It doesn't sound like it's the same idea as the game cards that you are describing Jodi. I'm wondering if this was a novelty toy idea that never saw light of day, at least as far as the flip book idea went..... I would love to hear from anyone that has seen one of the flip books if they actually exist. Thanks!
