1968 Milton Bradley Win A Card Game
Could someone post the backs of a 1968 Topps Card and a 1968 Milton Bradley Win-A-Card Game Card next to each other so I can see the difference. ? Thanks

There have been a couple of good threads on the MB set and it's cards in this forum.

Thanks for the photo post. I must be a little color blind cause I don't see much difference. Thanks again.

Don't feel bad. The Milton Bradley vs Topps cards fool A LOT of people.....and that's with the cards staring them in the face.....

There’s definitely a color difference when you have them in hand.

Further complicated by the fact that there are color differences in the regular Topps backs, and the latter series have backs more similar to the MB backs, which results in some sellers erroneously or deceptively selling some later series Topps cards, including the Mantle, as MBs.
Agree with Mark that if you have the MB known checklist and have the cards in hand, the differences are evident. Best to buy them in person or from reliable and knowledgeable seller. By the way, the Cox and and Brinkman yellow team variations listed for the regular set are actually just MB cards. Last edited by ALR-bishop; 01-04-2018 at 09:52 AM. |

The first Hundley is a Milton Bradley that is brilliant yellow, the second Hundley is a Milton Bradley that is drab yellow, and the third Hundley is a Topps that is a first series gold color. Some of the Milton Bradley cards are a brilliant yellow that are easy to tell, and some are a drab yellow that you have to compare side by side with a Topps card to tell the difference. The front of the drab yellow MB Hundley has the white edge of a 1967 MB Football card to prove that it is an MB, the front of the brilliant yellow MB Hundley is well centered so that there is no white edge of a 1967 MB Football card.

Correction, the bottom white edge of the Hundley is the top of a Hot Rods card, not a 1967 Football card.

Here's a 1968 MB Holtzman with an extremely bright yellow back that should be easy to tell.

Which is the point Robert made above. Sometimes it even happens with a Ryan

What's the story with these MB cards? This is the first I've heard of it.

Whoa!
NICE SHEET! Don't recall ever seeing that before. Thanks for sharing

I wish, I found the image on Google. I believe it's a virtual sheet that was compiled by an expert on 1968 Milton Bradley cards through extensive research.

I saw a rerun of Pawn Stars where someone brought in the entire game. The biggest cards he had were Gaylord Perry, Brooks Robinson, and Joe Namath.

Shore strip on MB boarders
Anyone know if the top row cards on the sheet ever have a white strip or are they immune?

The Ryan is easy....just look for the white stripe.

Here is a Milton Bradley Nolan Ryan card graded incorrectly, this time by SGC. Notice the white line on the bottom border of a card. Yep, that's a Milton Bradley.

I know he has sold some of his MBs sets off over the years, but I would speculate he may still own more MB cards than anyone else as he has been collecting these cards/games for years. |

The top row of baseball will never have a white border. Definitely the toughest to locate unless in hand.

Any way to get a pick of the sheet blown up to a bigger size?

Want to make sure I understand this correctly: by top row I assume you are referring to the row that starts with Jim Merritt and Tom Seaver (Sheet in post #27)? If my assumption is correct, isn't it possible that these could have a white top border depending on the card being OC top to bottom?

I'd love to have a definitive answer as I try to use possible white border's on MB's vs. regular issue to verify MB's when searching on line as its very difficult to tell by color alone due to the inconsistency of scanner settings. If I'm off on Merritt, I'm off on at least 10 others.

Unless I'm looking at it wrong, it appears that the Aaron is the only Braves card in the bunch, correct?

Top edge on MB sheet
Quote:
I just looked at most of my MBs from the top row of the sheet and I found one card that is miscut enough to show a lot of the top edge of the card. It does have the white line from the top of gutter edge of the sheet. Please see below. I added three non-MB cards to show that this #108 Pavletich card is indeed an MB. I found that most of the cards in the top row, if miscut, are usually showing more of the bottom edge of the card. I have gone through over 200 MB cards from the top row and I only found this one card miscut in this way. This is probably the result of the settings on the sheet cutting machine for this issue. By chance I just have this card produced during a cut when the settings were tweaked. Also, it seems that the MB sheet has the white gutter edge on all four sides. It will be tough to determine for sure if the bottom edge had an intentional gutter because the cards in that row are white bordered. Maybe the white border and the white gutter are different shades of white? I haven't looked at that. Jared, your tip of reviewing a seller’s other 1968 auctions to see if different cards' back colors vary to help determine MB vs. regular issue is great. I think that the research makes collecting MBs fun. Ryan, regarding Braves included in the set; Phil Niekro is on a leaders card in the second row. Maybe you aren't looking for leaders cards. I have a lot of these MBs cards (mostly baseball), three full games and multiple sets, so if you have any questions, feel free to send me a PM. Hopefully I can find the answer for you.

Interesting, so we now know these can exist, but between you and Jarred at one in approximately 1,700 they don't happen often. I also, agree, these conversations are what keep the hobby interesting.

I did find a copy of the #7 card that is almost as OC as the 108 card, but shows no white border. So either there is more burlap along the side edges, or as this card is regular sized, it does not show any white border. Does anyone else have an edge card with a white border? |

I think Jared meant that he has (had) 1500 MBs total over time. Maybe he has 1500 from the top row? That would be huge! He does know a lot about identifying and collecting MBs. Great person to deal with too. I would also like to thank Carlton again for putting in the research and creating the MB sheet mock up. The sheet has helped me so much with purchasing MBs and in my own research. Super information! Yep, love this set!

I found a few from the left edge of the sheet that show the white area. I also have a few Ryans with white on the left edge (actually the top of the card when oriented landscape). I will try to crop the Ryan photo and post here later.

I could only find one card from the right edge of the sheet that shows some of the white gutter area. At least, I think it shows a white line. The card has seen better days and has some dirt on it, so the white area may be just a whiter gap in the burlap pattern. I did notice that the miscut cards from the right edge seem to have a wider stretch of burlap than the cards on the left edge.

Here are some Ryans from the left egde of the sheet which are showing the white line. Sorry for the fuzzy, zoomed pics. I had to crop from a larger image.

I think I may have a problem with MB Ryans and the problem has gotten worse since I took this picture. Can anyone pick out the non-MB?

You appear to have an exceedingly unfortunate problem, especially if it has gotten worse?!?....do you have any other "problems" that are drool worthy?
