Dear Babe: I have 25 cards from a 33-card set. The cards look like Polaroids with scalloped edges, like the old peel-off instant photos. They are black and white with a blue signature. When I was looking through the set, I found two No. 11 cards. One is Hoyt Wilhelm and the other is Jim Wynn. Both are labeled "No. 11 of 33 photos." I have No. 9 (Willie Horton) and No. 12 (Rod Carew). Perhaps one of my No. 11s was supposed to be No. 10. What company produced these cards? I think these cards date to the late 1960s or early 1970s.

The 1969 Topps Deckle Edge set has cards numbered out of 33, but the set really has 35 cards. As you note, there are two No. 11 cards as well as two No. 22 cards - Rusty Staub and Joe Foy. While Roberto Clemente (27) tops the set at $20, Wynn is next at $12-$15, according to Beckett's Almanac of Baseball Cards and The Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards from the editors of Sports Collectors Digest. Wilhelm lists for $6-$8, Foy is at $9-$12, while Staub books at $2-$3. Carew is at $5-$7. The cards were inserted into third series Topps packs in 1969.
