From June 12th to July 9th of the 1977 season, the Chicago Tribune produced a series of "cards" in the sports section of the newspaper for a Cub and White Sox player, intended to be cut from the paper and saved. The feature was titled Cubs & Sox Scrapbook and presented over-sized portraits of a player from each team, along with several years of statistics below the photo. I was somewhat surprised to see one of these had been submitted to COMC, but not surprised to see that it had not been identified.

Interesting note, I had a co-worker find my blog last week and ask me about it. Turns out he grew up in Chicago and delivered the Tribune as a kid. He just brought in his near complete collection of these that he has had since 1977. I think the only day he was missing was the pair from July 8th. It was cool to see these in person and he said he got a kick out of flipping through them again.
