			<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 1967 Topps cards up for sale 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 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, Brooks Robinson, Tom Seaver, Ed Mathews, Rod Carew, Gaylord Perry, Bob Gibson, and Hank Aaron.  You can usually find a few of them <a href="http://www.footballcardgallery.com/auctions?sport=Baseball&#038;set=1968+Milton+Bradley&#038;ref=blog_milton_bradley" title="1968 Milton Bradley baseball cards">on eBay</a>.</p>
<p><a 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 href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30736">BoardGameGeek.com</a> has a picture of the game box and a photo of some of the baseball and Hot Rod cards.  BoardGameGeek says that the game included a total of 50-70 cards, but that has to be incorrect.  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 believe Heritage&#8217;s statement that the game included all 132 cards.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.footballcardgallery.com/1967+Milton+Bradley/98/Joe-Namath/" title="1967 Milton Bradley Joe Namath football card">Joe Namath</a> is one of the football cards in the game.
