Toughest Hi Grade Insert Set - Deckle Edge Post Yours!
The 1969 Topps Deckle Edge Insert set has to be the most difficult set to collect in high grade. The set checklist shows the set has 33 cards - but #11 and #22 in the set contain 2 players, making a total of 35 cards in all. Cards#11 show both Wynn & Wilhelm; #22 Staub & Foy (Wynn & Foy are the SP rarities in the set).
Combined with printing offsets, easily creased cards, surface blemishes & chipped edges on the back all make this a difficult set to collect in high grade. Only a small percentage of cards have graded Mint. Topps issued deckle edge cards in number of years.......let's see your deckle edge cards! Be interested to see if we can get a full set of '74 Proof Deckle Edge cards on here.....I'm sure Al R has a full set. Z |

Deckle Edge
I'd love to find a high grade Topps and/or OPC Brooks Robinson deckle edge. Like you mentioned they are usually OC or have chips in the deckle portion. I have a bunch of Brooks proof cards of these; seem to be a very common proof item.

Deckle Edge
Mark,
Did you pick up your proofs from the same collector/dealer? And are the proofs straight edged with a completely blank back? Z Last edited by Zach Wheat; 08-08-2015 at 02:14 PM. |

There were prototype sheet for this set as well. Only the Yaz made it into the actual set. Both the 69 and 74 Deckle can be found cut from sheets with out the deckling

Brooks
I picked up the proofs from a collector years ago that used to collect Brooks Robinson items then changed directions in his collecting interests. I believe the proofs that I have are just not deckled, just straight edge versions w/the backs the same as the regular issued cards. Likely just cut from a sheet so I guess they could be called proofs.
