Thanks everyone for the info about the stamps. I'm glad to hear that there are some out there.

1978 Wiffle Ball bat/ball holder with Hrabosky and Bonds

I have been attempting to complete this set since it cam out and have never, ever even seen a picture of this one. I have been able to confirm all the rest of the 86 cards of the 88 listed. I can't even confirm 100% that these are the two players on it or that they are on a bat/ball holder.

[sflayank]

that includes the 4 stamp panel

ArmourPhil showed an uncut sheet of these a couple of years ago, this is the best I could make a scan of it. That proved that the Hrabosky/Bonds sleeve existed. He also proved that they were a 1979 issue, not 1978 as previously thought. I agree that there hasn't been sight of one available, just like the one with the pink Buckner/Eckersley discs from the sheet, which I have never seen available. ETA: there were even two different Hrabosky/Bonds sleeves on the sheet, one with dark colors and one with light colors.

I personally do not believe that the 2002 Topps Pujols correct back exists. I believe the SCD got it wrong. If I remember correctly, the Chrome, Chrome Refractors, and Opening Day have the correct back.

[ALR-bishop]

I think you are right Shane. And also think Larry is right about the Sievers stamp.

[frankhardy]

How about the 1967 Topps Punchouts Bob Gibson? I have been under the impression for years that this card does NOT exist, even though it is listed in the SCD.

Edited to say that I found a thread that I started back in 2010 asking this question... Consensus says that it doesn't exist.

[sflayank]

Doesnt exist

[rhettyeakley]

Here are my two winners... (I wonder how many are actually out there, no more than a handful I'd guess)...


Here is another winner but of a different Oil Companies contest, I can't recall ever seeing another panel with both halves of the Ruth...

[Bestdj777]

That Ruth is bizarre. Unless it remained unopened until more recently, I can't imagine someone not immediately cashing that in for the prize. That's beyond cool.

I have always wondered if the 2002 Topps Pujols exists. I have hope that it does because I know that it exists in Topps Japanese issue Kanebo because I have one.

[frankhardy]

I am certain that the Japanese version was produced long after the base set was produced. The same goes for Chrome, Refractors, Opening Day, etc. If the regular card was ever corrected, surely at least ONE would surface.

[Rich Klein]

We ran an article in Beckett while I was there back in the day and Clay at Topps confirmed those cards existed and we even had an image back then. The 2002 Topps Pujols with a Pujols back exists. May be hard to find, really hard to find, but they do exist.
