topps test issues where are they
Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>There was a Ron Santo Plak up on eBay last week. Thing had a crack and nobody bid on it ($100 opener with a hidden reserve). Other than that, I agree that there's been quite a drought--especially in the major auctions.

Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>Some of these are almost impossibly rare. Absent Woody Gelman and The Card Colectors Co, I doubt we would know about a lot of these.<br /><br />Plus, some are in my collection. I know that Larry and Bob might have a few too...... <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Randy Trierweiler</b><p>I have the 1967 McCarver Stand-Up (diecut), which I've shown a couple times, and a 1967 & 1968 Cepeda disc. The rest of the mentioned sets (Cardinals) are on my want-list, where they have been for many years. Randy

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>This 1972 limited production Topps 1953 reprint set is my favorite. Does anyone know, or have an idea, why only these 8 cards were reprinted ?<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/a1953testset.jpg"><br /><br /><br />TED Z

I think a lot of the Topps test stuff is in private collections right now and agree they are not showing up in as many auctions of late. Very limited production on many of these of course and I think people are hanging on to stuff given the economy. Some stuff is coming out of the woodwork though, fresh to the hobby. More info on the discs, including the SF Giants set that is modeled on the 67 Red Sox and Pirates stickers, on my blog, with handy checklists: http://toppsarchives.blogspot.com/se...seball%20Discs If we can get a full list of comparisons, I will add to the checklists. If people want to e-mail me scans of their 68's I'll show them all as well when I do so. This is a good project since 68's are much harder to find than 67's. |
