Default Topps 1968 Plaks

Mile High made the Plaks "find...or at least ended up with it, and for awhile the market was awash in them. I was able to complete my set through their auctions, as were at least two other collectors I know. That find also seemed to confirm that although the two related checklist cards list 24 subjects, only 19 were apparently produced. No Plaks are known for Peters, F Robinson, Aaron, Drysdale or Mays, even though they appear on the checklist cards.

There is even a variation in the set. Mantle's Plak can be found with either a large nose or a smaller nose . Many of the Plaks have only a vague likeness to the player depicted
