Topps Deckle Edge cards...not sure on the year

They are from 1969. At first I was going to say that they were 1969 OPC Deckle Edge cards since the signature looks black, but I think you just have a gray scale scan (signatures should be blue for '69 Topps Deckle Edge). The deckle pattern is wrong for the OPCs (corners on OPC deckle edge cards come to a point, Topps are rounded). Here is an auction for 69 Topps Deckle Edge and another for OPC Deckle Edge to give you a visual reference and some idea of value.

1969 O-PEE-CHEE DECKLE EDGE COMPLETE SET OF 24 BV $180

Another glaring difference in the cards is the OPC deckle edge version is blank backed. People often mistake these for proofs, but proofs are not deckled. Hope this helps.

do you have any idea what condition this sample would qualify as? i cannot tell with these bubbled edges. Also thanks a lot dbj and bob for your help.

I would generally say EX/MT type condition - although from a grading perspective - the centering characteristics on many of those cards would significantly downgrade the condition...
