Anyone have a Beckett Football book?

Are the 1961 Packers team issue cards cataloged? If so, what dimensions does it list for them. TIA

If you go to Beckett's website and type in the name of the set in the search field, it'll come up with anything that they have on that set. Even the set descriptions that they list in the big almanac books.


I don't know if these were "team issued" or not, but the only thing I could find was the 1961 Lake to Lake Green Bay Packers:



"The 1961 Lake to Lake Green Bay Packers set consists of 36 unnumbered, green and white cards each measuring approximately 2 1/2" by 3 1/4". The fronts contain the card number, the player's uniform number, his position, and his height, weight, and college. The backs contain advertisements for the Packer fans to obtain Lake to Lake premiums. Card numbers 1-8 and 17-24 are the most difficult cards to obtain and cards #33-36 are also in shorter supply than #9-16 and #25-32 which are the easiest cards in the set. Lineman Ken Iman's card was issued ten years before his Rookie Card; Defensive back Herb Adderley's card was issued three years before his Rookie Card."

According to my copy of Krause's Standard Catalog of FB Cards, the 1961 Lake-to-Lake Packers set is made up of 36 cards. Dimensions are 2 1/2" x 3 1/4".

Yes, They were not a team issued set, but rather a set issued by a local dairy.

Actually this was what I was hoping to find information on...

I hope I'm wrong, but is the Spic and Span set that I had planned on submitting is not covered under the registry special? The cards measure 5 x 4 1/4 so do they have to go in a T3 holder?
