They look suspiciously like 1967 Topps cards, but you can see that each card has a strip of brown along the top or bottom edge.  That strip of brown is a bit of a baseball card that was also included in the Win-A-Card game.  See my blog post from last November for <a href="http://www.nearmintcards.com/blog/2009/11/24/1967-topps-football-cards-in-the-1969-milton-bradley-win-a-card-game/">a description of the game and the cards it included</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.footballcardgallery.com/pics/blog/1969_milton_bradley_tom_day.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://www.footballcardgallery.com/pics/blog/1969_milton_bradley_tom_day.jpg" title="1969 Topps Milton Bradley Tom Day football card" class="alignright" width="212" height="291" /></a>I was putting some <a href="http://www.nearmintcards.com/date_listed/2009-11-18/">1967 Topps cards up for sale</a> the other day, and I noticed that one of them, the Tom Day card shown here, had a bit of brown along the top border.  I remembered that 1967 Topps football cards had been included in a board game with 1968 Topps baseball cards, so I did a little web searching to refresh my memory.  Here&#8217;s what I found:</p>
<p>According to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://sports.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=9708&#038;Lot_No=19284&#038;src=pr">an auction on the Heritage Auctions web site</a>, the board game was called &#8220;Win-A-Card,&#8221; from Milton Bradley.   The auction says that there were 132 cards in the game: 76 1968 Topps baseball cards, 33 1967 Topps football cards, 22 1965 Topps Hot Rod cards, and an instruction card.  The 132 cards were printed on a single sheet created specially for the game.  The bit of brown on the top of my Tom Day football card is part of a 1968 Topps baseball card.  The baseball cards included a Nolan Ryan rookie card, Mickey Mantle, Brooks Robinson, Tom Seaver, Ed Mathews, Rod Carew, Gaylord Perry, Bob Gibson, and Hank Aaron.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30736"><img alt="" src="http://www.footballcardgallery.com/pics/blog/1969_milton_bradley_win_a_card_game.jpg" title="1969 Milton Bradley Win-A-Card Game" class="alignright" width="200" height="144" /></a><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30736">BoardGameGeek.com</a> has a picture of the box the game came in, a photo of some of the baseball and Hot Rod cards, and scans of the backs of the Mickey Mantle game card and regular-issue card.  The back of the regular-issue Mantle card is orange, and the back of the game card is yellow, so it is easy to tell them apart.  The difference between the football cards is subtler: the regular issue 1967 Topps cards have a yellow back, and the game cards have a lighter yellow back.  I would not have noticed the difference on my Tom Day card if I hadn&#8217;t gotten part of a baseball card, too.  In the scan below, the regular Tom Day card is on the left, and the game card is on the right.<br />
<a href="http://www.footballcardgallery.com/pics/blog/1967_topps_tom_day_backs.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://www.footballcardgallery.com/pics/blog/1967_topps_tom_day_backs.jpg" title="1967 Topps Tom Day football card backs" class="alignnone" width="445" height="302" /></a><br />
BoardGameGeek also says that the game included a total of 50-70 cards.  That&#8217;s probably not right, since if each game contained a partial sheet of cards, and if there was only one instruction card per sheet, not all games would have gotten an instruction card.  I am inclined to believe Heritage&#8217;s assertion that the game included all 132 cards.</p>
<p>I also found an <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nearmintcards.com/auction/250400157367/blog_milton/">eBay listing for a 1967 Topps football card</a> that lists the numbers of the football cards in the game.  Oddly, the eBay listing is for a Gino Cappelletti card (card #3) that was not in the game.  I don&#8217;t know where the eBay seller got the list of cards, so I can&#8217;t verify it.  The Heritage auction, however, says that the game cards included Nick Buoniconti (#13), Buck Buchanan (#71), Joe Namath (#98), Fred Biletnikoff (#106), and Ron Mix (#125), and that jibes with the eBay listing.</p>
<p>According to the eBay listing, this is the full list of 1967 Topps football cards in the Milton Bradley Win-A-Card game:</p>
