70s Saturday - 1971 Dell Today Cubs

In 1971 Dell released books that contained player pictures for each of the 24 MLB teams.  Each book contains 24 players.  They are placed 12 to a page.  The page is perforated so you can punch out the cards but I left my book intact.  The players aren't arranged on the page in any special order.  Rather, they seemed to be placed randomly.


Here is the first page...


...and right away you'll notice a Twin, Met, Padre, and Red Sox player mixed in.  Dell didn't seem to be too concerned about the teams shown.


The back of the page has a small bio of the player.  Stats were given on a different page...I showed those pages yesterday.

On to the second page of players...


with a couple Astros and a Brave...


and the back.

The pictures are a little small, so I've got a better look at each of the 24 cards, this time in alphabetical order...

  1. Thanks again......lots of memories. I wonder why they had to have a painting of one of the players? If they had just kept Lou Brock, Joe Neikro and a few others in that time period.
