A couple days ago I found a surprise PWE from Shlabotnik Report in my mailbox. He’d seen my colorwheels update and decided that he would send me a few of the cards I was missing.
The yellow 1967 and purple 1977 slide in and complete two pages. The 1967 page looks great and I just need to figure out what card to slide into the last slot on the 1977 page. I’m leaning Big League Brothers but there are a decent number of choices. The brown 1969 made me realize that I actually have a bunch of browns only they’re in my expansion/moves binder. Yeah I’m collecting Pilots cards in general so this one slid into those pages.
The most interesting card here though is the 1967 Gene Brabender. I’ll ned to do a proper post about cards like this but I’m always intrigued when I come across an image where Topps has just removed all the magenta and yellow from the background in order to make it look like sky but you can still see all the background details in the cyan screen. I don’t have a lot of these but the 1968 Manny Sanguillen is another such example in my collection.
Thanks for the cards! It’s always great to complete a page and in many ways those two pages also completed the project as well.

Interesting about the Brabender card, that’s something I wouldn’t have picked up on my own.
FYI, the 1969 expansion teams got their own unique colors… Brown was Padres & Pilots, light pink was Royals and Expos. Maybe your colorwheel project will need some dupes of cards in the expansion binder
Yeah I think it’ll have to be expansion dupes the same way I have Giants dupes on a few pages.
This is such a unique project. I can’t imagine that there’s too many other people, if any, working on one that’s similar.
