An Unusual Sticker on a Bell & Howell Tape
So, I was skimming through my collection earlier this week, until I came across this small year/week code sticker below the tape guard of my copy of "The Batty World of Baseball." The code reads "TCA 221" (21st week of 1982), and what "TCA" stands for is beyond me.
