Ryan/Koosman Milton Bradley compared to regular Topps issue
The card in the middle is a reg Topps card and the cards on the left and right are Milton Bradley versions.
You can see that the Milton Bradley issues have yellow backs and the regular Topps has the orangish back.
The Milton Bradley version often has a more orangish red color and the reg Topps version will have a deeper true red color printing of 1968 Rookie Stars.
These MBs are by no means plentiful and should demand a higher premium. Sure they can be found on eBay, but I don't think their current prices reflect accurately on their scarcity. It is no secret that MBs exist, but I think we should expect their demand to increase as they become more regarded as necessary in the 1968 Master Set.
I feel that the 1968 Milton Bradley cards are an absolute gem of an issue. Thanks for the great thread.
