Has anyone ever seen this before ? Koufax Mantle Boyer 1965 transfers

[quitcrab]

I have no luck posting pictures so I need someone to please post the pix for me ( so I guess no one has seen it ! )

When you do a google search and check the Robert Edwards Archieves and nothing comes up as a match I figure it’s pretty rare or new to the hobby.

I have been collecting since 1971 and have never seen it. I picked it up at the National show in Chicago. I bought a “ empty “ 1965 topps baseball 5 cent box and it was thrown into the deal as a companion piece.
Any thoughts or info would be great.

Thanks Scott

Pretty tough to tell if I've seen it without seeing it

Scott-- not sure what you are asking. I have as set of the 65 Transfers that includes those 3 players. Are you talking about something different than the individual Transfers ? The set has 72 I think but there is at least one variation, Ron Hunt at 2B or SS

Asking for info on the “poster” or advertisement piece. I am guessing it came inside the full box of cards on top. Used by the retailer to promote the new inserts to increase sales and interest How rare are they? I have had the please if looking at many Mantle and Koufax threads and don’t recall seeing this piece in any collection. Are they callled “box toppers” ? Are there other ones out there promoting 68 game cards, 66 rub offs, 63 peel offs etc.

Yes there are other ones out there from 62 thru 69

I think he's talking about a panel of three. I don't see any PSA graded panels from 1965 Transfers, but have a Koufax 1966 rub-off personally and PSA has graded a few from 1966.

Not salesman samples
Strip folded on top of packs in box for the candy store or drugstore to hang over the box advertising the inserts

[quitcrab]

Correct. Not looking for panels or real transfers. Love to see other examples of these “ boxtopper “ from the 60s advertising inserts.

Can someone post examples

Love to see the ones from 62-69 like sflayank spoke of
