Awesome scans, guys.
I collect Cardinals team sets as some of you know. I was attracted to this thread because I have every 1969 Topps Cardinals card except for the 1969 Topps 4-in-1 with the Cardinals Rookies and Carl Yastrzemski on it. |
Kirk,
Your pics of your "stash" brings back great memories. Add a few pieces of orange Hot Wheels track in the background and I would feel like I was in a time machine. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Jeff |

I remember those Hot Wheel tracks. In fact, I had a pair of Hot Wheel pants back in the day. |

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I've been looking for a Mamas and Papas card for 2 years since this thread and finally got one from Sweden. See what you put me through, Kirk!

Thanks for bumping this thread Troy, I picked this up @ The National this summer and had been meaning to throw it in this thread.
Congrats on finding the M&P card! http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...psbjnhi20j.jpg |

Great year for the Mets, for baseball cards, lots of cool inserts

A sad tale indeed for Wagner . He at one time sponsored a clothing line for which his advertising slogan was "get your glad rags from Daddy Wags"

Looks to me like the 69 Wagner is a touched up 67 Wagner picture...here is his 67 Topps card. Might need to edit the article...of which I really enjoyed. Sad to hear how his life went...reminded me of J.R. Richards...

Hi does anyone know how the 1969 white letters went out or where? 4th series, right? I heard it was because Topps started a second print location and the white letters plate setup made it through edit/review/proof to prod.
On a note on this topic, one of my biggest lot finds came from a smaller lot purchase via eBay where a seller had a 1969 ~125 card lot for sale...pic had 10 cards and 1 white letter. When I received there was a note that read " I had these for 50 years, enjoy".. They were all 4th series and had about 8-10 white letter variations..many near mint...no #567...but still a great find. Had me thinking the master sheets had to be this way vs running out of x color ink etc. Shipment came from northwest Florida...but the cards might not have originated there...not sure if this helps in the white letter distribution/print mystery.

Thoughts on the 1969 Topps baseball stamp full panels. The vertical panels are so much harder to find compared to the horizontal. Not sure why Topps cut the panels in the horizontal format and vertical format. Maybe the full sheet was just loaded into the cutting machine in a different direction
|
Adding this here... (Apologies if not the best post for it) 1969 topps white letters seem to have been proofed that way.

I have to say of all the Topps vintage sets, this one has grown on me the most. |
I agree Dave. Apparently others also since that Hunt Auctions set went for $11,000 the other day!
