I have not seen these before. I would be interested in the Bill Brown or any other Viking players you have of these.

Assuming these are cardboard and not magazine paper, I would think they came from some type of board game. Coleco made some NFL football games and issued some similar black framed "cards" that had a numbering scheme and photos used for Sports Illustrated posters.

A couple interesting notes is that Jerry Philbin is actually spelled Gerry Philbin and Tom Matte played his entire career for the Baltimore Colts - yet it appears he's in an Oilers or Dolphins uniform.

I would guess that they are from 1968 to 1971...

Thanks for sharing!
