1960s Lee Clothing football cards

I made an error in my first thread about these cards, so I have deleted it and started over...

So, here is a fun, little issue that I have been collecting and researching for a while. These cards are roughly postcard-sized and were given away at Lee Clothing-sponsored athlete appearances at department stores in the early 1960s. They are currently undocumented within the hobby, so chasing information has been fun, yet challenging.

Is anyone familiar with these cards? Anyone have any?

I don't remember what I said in the original post. Oh well

I have one but I can't find the scan. I remember you telling me how rare they are and I set out on a quest to find one on eBay. I used a particular set of skills I developed while collecting boxing cards to construct a handful of searches that would ensure that I would find any card that was listed on eBay, no matter how mislabeled it was. Then I began searching everyday for months.

So, yeah. That's it. Still nothing. Zippo. These cards are pretty freakin hard to find.
