Definitive College All-Stars vs. Pro game list?

I am looking to compile the postseason officiating assignments, and I decided to expand the scope to include the Chicago All-Star Game. Oh, and yeah, there was the New York All-Star Game in the 1930s and 1940s. However, like a low-quality infomercial will tell you, "but that's not all."

In 1939, there were 8 of these games of varying quality: https://www.profootballresearchers.org/ ... 05-996.pdf

I think they all fizzled out once the war started, with the NY hanging on a bit longer, and of course the Chicago game continued to its 1976 ignominious end.

So the question is, do we have a definitive list of the years of these random All-Star games? I realize there are probably several barnstorming operations that might marginally be considered, so I guess there will always be a strain on what's "definitive." I suppose if it follows the general contours of the Chicago game, then it's inclusive, but I'm not looking to limit anyone's interpretation.

I would start with profootballarchives. Preseason games for each team are listed, including games against non-league teams.

If you need the officiating crews for the College All-Star Games from 1969 to 1975 I have some of them.

Thanks. That will fill in a few gaps.
