I thought some of you might appreciate seeing this. In 1981, Steve Kozel received permission from the Rochester Red Wings to print the 1981 WTF Rochester Red Wings set. In exchange for permission, Steve agreed to give the Wings promotional cards of Doc Edwards to be given away during the 1981 season.
The sets were printed one complete set to a sheet. In addition, the sheets contained three copies of the promotional Doc Edwards card. Of the 1,800 sets/sheets printed, 50 of the sheets remained uncut. However, 49 of the 50 sheets had the promotional cards of Edwards cut from the sheet. Here are scans of the only fully uncut sheet of cards. The images are courtesy of a gentleman named Bob Schomper:
