It's too bad that in 1966, there was still only one Cy Young award presented to all of MLB. Koufax was the winner but Kaat's numbers were right there... a comparison

Kaat
41 G, 41GS, 19CG, 3SHO, 0GF, 0SV, 304.666IP, 271H, 1227BFP, 29HRA, 114R, 93ER, 55BB, 4IBB, 205K, 9SH, 6SF, 12WP, 3HBP, OBK, 392B, 53B, 24GDP, 25 W, 13 L 2.75 ERA, 4.22 (RUN SUPPORT) 1.070 WHIP

KOUFAX
41G, 41GS, 27CG, 5SHO, 0GF,0SV, 323IP, 241H, 1274BFP, 19HR, 74R, 62ER, 77BB, 4IBB, 317SO, 11SH, 8SF, 7WP, 0HBP, 0BK, 382B, 53B, 13GDP, 27W, 9L, 1.73 ERA, 4.22RS, 0.98WHIP

so seeing the numbers side by side, Sandy did have an advantage in several key stats of the time, but still impressive seasons put up by both pitchers.

Right? The thing that killed me, was Kaat got a decision in 92% of his starts and Koufax got a decision in 86% of his starts. That right there along with combined 46/82 starts were complete games. Unheard-of now a days.

I'm one of the few collectors that likes the Action Packed products and I know about the Braille cards and the 24 kt. gold cards but I've never heard of these Gold Braille parallels before! Interesting.

Ya I don't know anything about the set either... I have another Gold Mint card from a different year I'll put up sometime, and an all pewter card... and I'm with you, I like the Action Packed stuff too.

Probably my favorite card right now. Set this free from BVG 5 and was very very pleased with a SGC 5!

Trading card database calls these cards 1992 Action Packed Mint. They did an entire parallel run of these which is incredible. There is no info if these were pack inserts (doubtful), or a special send in. Not many of these were pictured on TCDB so I am wondering if they were something you'd win one card at a time.

Does the back of your card look like the one below? Irvin was not pictured on thee site.

From doing some quick research, I think only Irvin and Emmitt had these Mint Braile cards made. I checked Barry, Elway, Marino, the Dallas Cowboys and the New york Giants and only Irvin and Emmitt had those cards. There may be others but out of those two teams and those 3 players only the two Cowboys have the Mint Braile cards.

Thanks for all the research you're doing! They may have done the braille on league leaders... check passing leader from '91 and maybe sack leader. If not that I don't know why Emmitt and Irvin got the braille...

I checked Beckett and there were 8 cards in the Mint Parallel set with braille on the back, and I'm guessing on their regular cards also: Mark Rypien, Warren Moon, Emmitt Smith, Thurman Thomas, Michael Irvin, Haywood Jeffiries, Pat Swilling, and Ronnie Lott...

OK now it makes sense. Those are the 8 guys who had regular Braile cards that were inserted into 1992 Action Packed Factory sets. Was there any info on how one acquired either the 288 cards in the Mint set or the 8 cards in the Mint Braille set? I've guessing thery were available though some special offer on the fsctory sets.

So the only true parallel set was the Mint cards. THe Mint Braille cards and the regular 24 Kt cards (like the Emmitts I traded you) were parallel sets but skip numbered and much smaller than the base set. And only the 24 Kt. Gold cards were inserted in packs as far as I know.
