Somebody gave this one to me recently. (I don't remember who) Can't find it on the Database. Thanks!

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

I would be very curious to see how extensive this set is and if it includes other sports or simply general colloquialisms.

1976 Funky Facts, also known as "The Weird World of Baseball," this 40-card set blends drawings and trivia questions into something like a rotating display of newspaper comics. Packaged it like regular baseball sets, 10 cards per pack and 36 packs to a box.

I have the checklist created and will have it under the Oddball section of the 1976 Baseball section of the website.

Anyone notice the ERR? The answers to #1 and #2 are switched. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*
