Welcome to the Oddball Archive.
If you aren’t aware, “oddball” is a catch-all name for regional card releases, food issues, retail issues, and other test/team/premium/micro card releases, inserts, and sets. Anything that isn’t part of a mainstream set is an oddball.
Oddballs are some of the most innovative and exciting sets in the post-war sports card market, and this archive is my way of sharing information about as many of them as I can.
