Thats a dead set ripper Rick,
I know my dads first few winners were on vinyl and we still have a few "photos" as you described, they were black and white with the colours painted in, they were actually a bloody credit to the people who crafted them, I remember the family who done Newcastle area used to work until all hours of the night fulfilling orders when times got busy, it must have taken them many hours to do what a digital camera and a two bit printer can now do in seconds!
Cheers,
Dan
