Al -

My longest uncut strip of 66 Topps rub-offs is only 5 rub-offs long.

I got started as I wanted to recapture the fun of building a set card by card, The rub-off set was small enough to complete, seemed available in singles and small lots, not super expensive and was from the heyday of my collecting youth (1965 to 1971). I set a goal of 5 years and $600. I wanted decently centered examples, in excellent condition.

It has been fun! As they say on those house renovation shows, I'm slightly over budget and a little past my time deadline.

I think they were printed in strips of 20, but I could be wrong. The last 20 I needed seem to be printed in shorter supply. I rarely see them up on Ebay and even fewer in a condition I would like.

Thnks for your response.

Mike
