NFL Action Team Mate 1977 Football Play Book Prototype Misprint

NFL Action Team Mate 1977 Football Play Book Prototype Misprint

Sold solely via Montgomery Wards, JC Penney and Sears catalogs, these action figures were produced by Pro Sports Marketing and are pretty scarce to find today. Made to compete with Megos, they were produced in extremely small numbers. They're approximately 7 1/2 inches tall with moveable limbs held together with rubber bands. Each figure came with a play book, football, and a stand with the NFL logo. Made long before Kenner's popular Starting Lineup figures - they were decades ahead of their time. A field and benches were produced for the figures - both are VERY tough to find. The set consists of figures from all the (then current) 28 NFL teams.  Here's a page from the JC Penney Catalog:

This listing is for an unusual entry - a 1977 Playbook misprint. After having over 1,000 of these playbooks come through our hands in over a decade, we ran across this oddity that we, for the longest time, thought was a prototype. However, when preparing this listing, we realized that what happened was the printer skipped printing the BLUE font text/items! This sure does leave out a lot of text. For the collector who has everything!
