Where the heck are the 1970 MLB Photostamps?

And where exactly did they come from? I am looking for a Killebrew and haven't seen one offered for as long as I can remember. Typed in "1970 MLB Photostamp" on eBay and only saw two up for auction.

As far as I can tell they are different from the 1969 version(s) because they have the team logos on the hats.

Here's the two I have, I thought they were one from each year, as they appear different. One is perforated and the fronts look a little different, the backs are obviously not the same.

Any help out there?

Thanks in advance.

Joe,

You may want to PM Swartz1 ... I believe he is the resident pro on that set.

Joe -

the one on the right is from 1970 - it came right out of a 1970 photostamp booklet (I believe aaron was also on the same sheet)...

I have one, and I will scan it later when I can dig it up...

Here is one of the collectors albums...

Here is one of the 1970 sheets... the series picks up where the 1969 sheets left off #19

Thanks Mike, I had the 1969 graded and just guessed the raw one I had was a 1970. Submitted it to PSA that way and they not only got the year wrong they undergraded it as well!

P.S. ran into another Photostamp" expert and there's another Killebrew variation out there a 1969 with a solid line on the back instead of dots or dashes, referred to as a "Type 2" even though it was issued first.

Another IMPOSSIBLE oddball card to find.

P.P.S. I just love that "nervous breakdown" guy!
