1971 Topps Winner - Steven M. Wilke

[Tripredacus]

It would be interesting to know what became of all these kids. Has anyone ever done a "where are they now" type thing?

[parkerj33]

i am surprised that dave hornish is confused. he has written quite completely on this topic as shown here: http://toppsarchives.blogspot.com/20...stinction.html

Incredible find!

Jim-- Dave like the rest of us is getting old and is more confused now

Trip-- agree with you, Topps Heritage should include an extended Then and Now subset next year

[Tyranusberg]

What do these cards go for these days? Back in the day they would occasionally show up, usually a few at a time, but you never seem to see them anymore.

True that. Although I suspect a few of the the packs got out into the wild. Winners are technically the only Topps baseball inserts from 1972!

Where are they now?

Just got a lot of 10 of these, which seems to be how they're typically found, in very nice condition. Probably going to put them up for auction soon. Let me know if you want to be updated!

[1963Topps Set]

I am interested, how can I go about picking them up?

[bobsbbcards]

Which 10?

Cards are now up for auction here:

https://birminghamauctioneers.hibid.com/catalog/135635/lehighton-warehouse-auction-part-2/

Lots 141 - 150

Will anyone in here claim to be the winner of any of these? There was also an April Bole and a Steve Wilke (neither of which had ever been offered for sale before to the best of my knowledge) on EBAY. Anyone claiming those?

Where are the links?

When recent sales draw attention and show increased value, more always seem to surface. I was bidding on several as I need an type example for my collection. Sadly, I missed on all.

I bowed out when bidding broke 350 because I didn't want to exceed my set personal limit. I am now a bit bummed at my line of thinking because it may be a bit before one that I like comes back around.

Put me on the list for sure. Been looking for an example for a while.

If I owned the cards I am auctioning I would seriously consider trying to track the people down and getting them autographed.

[ALR-bishop]

Or a Topps Now and Then subset. Going for autos might qualify you as a stalker

Those 9 were mine at one point. I won a lot of 10 in a Kevin Savage auction, kept a type and eventually auctioned the rest. I had four others I sold eventually as well.

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

There are actually 10 for auction. Would be odd if they were yours as the consignor only had a vague idea of what they were, which would be odd if they were purchased "intentionally"

May not be the same person. Were there ten? One must have snuck in... I had 14 of the 15 known (at the time). Now it would be 14/19...

This auction soft closes 9pm Eastern Sunday July 8th. Lots close individually so no need to stay up all night. Also some vintage wax wrappers, Huge bulk lots of modern, a very old Hanna Batrite Bat and more. The sports stuff is scattered throughout the auction so dig around!

Also some killer Vintage Floor Display cases for your collectibles.

I picked a few of the more unique names from the list of cards show and did a Facebook search. There is no doubt that the faces staring back at me were the same kids.....only allot older. It would be cool to have the cards autographed.

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

I thought so too, and in this day and age it shouldn't be too hard to find them. Problem is they may want to keep it if they don't have any.

Anyway, this is your big chance to own them and find out!
