I'm sure someone here can help. I got this card with a lot from the early 80s. It measures about 2 1/2" by 3 1/8". Thanks for any help.

    Calling Jeb. Calling Jeb. He should know.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    1983 Starliner sticker. Unlicensed collector issue that tried to pass itself off as being from the late '60s. Used 1967 Dexter Press photography of 16 players, all of whom are hall of famers with the exceptions of Rose and Colavito.

    Thanks for the help, Bob. I knew I had seen that pic before. I thought it was on one of the local issues like East Hills or Dailey's Juice. You are certainly a wealth of information.

    Starline cards are something else. Starliner are the semi-bogus ones (I say semi because they still are very attractive and have some value...$40 or so for the set). None of them were produced in the '60s. Here's the write-up in the big SCD book:

    This unauthorized collector's issue is based on 16 of the cards issued by Dexter Press in 1967 as Coca-Cola premiums. In July, 1983, a Midwestern dealer produced these stickers by reprinting the 5-1/2" by 7" Dexter Press cards in 2-7/16" x 3-1/4" format and eliminating the white border. The stickers can be found with either white ("Mactac Starliner") or tan ("Tuchdown Splitless") paper on back. By the early 1990s, the story of the true origins of these stickers had been largely forgotten within the hobby and some dealers were charging between $10-50 apiece for them. The unnumbered stickers are checklisted here in alphabetical order. Production of the white-backed stickers was reported at 2,000 sets with Mantle and Rose double printed.

    Complete set (16) $40
    Common Player $1

    Clemente $10
    Mantle (DP) $20

    I thought I remembered the name Starliner from my past occupation in the printing industry.

    It refers to the brand of label stock used for the sticker.
