1968 Fleer Tallboy Emblem/Logo/Fact Los Angeles Dodgers Card

Description: Fleer's 1968 Baseball Emblems looked very similar to the 1967 issue that I reviewed yesterday with a few minor differences.Once again there were 3 items issued in the 1968 series: 1) Team Logo/Emblem Cards 2) Team Logo/Emblem Cloth Patches 3) Team Name "Trio" Cloth Patches (a cloth patch with 3 small patches with team names but no logos). From what I can gather from the wrapper, each pack must have contained 1 Team Emblem Cloth Patch (with a Logo, Hat Patch, and Shoulder or Pocket Patch) as well as 1 "Trio" Patch with 3 team names -hence the claim of 6 cloth patches per pack. The Logo card almost certainly was included to give some stability to the pack, but it is not mentioned on the pack (as were none of the other various cards inserted with cloth patches over the years for some reason).Just as the previous year, the Logo cards are 2.5 x 4.5 and the Cloth Patches are 2.5 x 4.2, hence the nickname "Tallboys". There are 2 ways to distinguish the 1967 Logo / Emblem Cards from 1968: 1) 1967 has the team's 1966 W-L record, while the 1968 card has a Baseball Fact 2) 1967 has "SAVE ALL 19 CARDS" in Red, while the 1968 card is printed in Black. WAIT - ONLY 19 TEAMS? What Gives??? Didn't MLB have 20 teams in the mid 60's before expansion in 1969? For some reason, the Houston Astros did not have a Quiz Card or Cloth Patch for either the 1967 or 1968 sets. If you need more pictures or information please ask. Thanks,Frank
