1969 Topps Four-in-One inserts (This is a set of the perforated cards) [Need 1] [Audited 6/29/19] Karl Noonan
Gremlin alert #1. Now need Pete Gogolak. I stupidly put Charlie Gogolak in Pete's place. [Update maybe got this from Gary Mandell but need to verify.] And I am still working to verify if there are any more gremlins but its a slow process. For each set of four, I rebuild the card, double-checking that I have the correct sequence (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) Update Somewhere I think I found a FB album with stamps so I raided the Pete Gogolak. Of course that means I will find two other Gogolak's tomorrow.
Gremlin alert #2. I cannot find Karl Noonan MIA. MORON. I had a big pile of extras in a little plastic box but shared them with someone else before confirming I was done.
[8/6/15 I'm close enough on these that I will start accumulating the unperforated cards. :-) I only have a couple of these.]

Thank you to Jake Elwell, Sal Domino, George Vrechek, and Phil Chmielewski for their help.
6/15/20: Addition to the list. My puzzle binder1 doesn't include these. They must be elsewhere but I cannot find them. They aren't with set #1. I have enough dupes to almost build a set of puzzles for that binder. Need either * or *, marked or unmarked. Centering on the back better than 90/10 (so I can see the border). Need: Broncos, Cowboys, Patriots, Raiders.
1 Puzzle binder. Doesn't everyone have a puzzle binder? Backs of the 1968 All-Star teams forms a puzzle. So does the 1969 all-star team. 1972 has backs with a puzzle of Yaz. And there are puzzles in football and hockey too. I don't recall any basketball puzzles. Maybe 'puzzles' are an excuse to create my own webpage because these really need pictures.
And then there were the upgrades .... ESTIMATED at 30. I think there are couple of others not marked as much. And everyone knows I've missed some. I need my head examined.
