1968 series 2 Topps game insert advertisement

[quitcrab]

Can anyone shed some light on these. Please post others if you have any.
I would be interested in ones I don’t have.
Thanks Scott

Were they protecting the cards from the gum in a pack? They look like wax paper. Or were they the backing to some insert?

I have some inserts like these but they are not with my 68 sets. Are your sure these are 68 ? If so, either I have them from another year or filed them with the wrong set

I have some very similar ones from 1967 advertising the Pin-Up series. I found a small stack in a collection years ago and have slowly been selling them. They are a repeating pattern and there were 3 that pretty much make the whole ad

Rhett---thanks. That is where mine are, with my 67 Pin Ups. Maybe I got them from you

They are definitely from 1968 because they advertise the coming of the “1968 game card inserts, set of 33 cards” in the next series
I think the game cards started in series 3 so I assume these are from series 2 packs… I am missing a little bit of the cut up repeated strip. Kind of cool that it mentions Killebrew and Campy.

Love the 1967 pin up piece ! So cool it’s in full sheet form.
I can imagine not many of these survived and kids definitely trashed them.

I have never seen them before. They didn't come in any of the packs that I opened.

I would think those pictured would have to be from 1968, I can't think of any other 60's Topps pack issued game cards. The ad is lying about Harmon Killebrew though, he will hit you a double every time.
