That bazooka is a super tough card! Doesn't come up for sale often .

I always wonder who cut up that sheet.I always imagine in my mind ,someone at Topps in 1971 with a paper cutter. Must have been in a hurry or late for the meeting to proof the set !

The numbered 1971 bazooka were never issued as a full box, full of gum that you could buy at the grocery store. They were sheets cut up.. by someone... probably at Topps along time ago.
The numbered cards are on a white card stock, while the unnumbered "official release" is on grey card stock. Numbered panels can also be found... Very rare to find the 3 card panel. |

Day 256 When I first saw this next item, I immediately noticed the color & clarity of the photo. When I compared it to the photo above, you can really tell the difference. I do believe that both were issued in the same time frame, but maybe the matted one was in a first print run and then later they printed more of a slightly lesser quality. I'll post a side by side to show the difference. The photo on the right is the more common variation. I believe the photo on the left was part of a small booklet (which Howard made reference to earlier), mine has been cut from that I believe. 1970s Matted photo... https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...eawayMount.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...wayMountBk.jpg Side by side comparison photo... https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...Comparison.jpg |
The photo comes out of the frame
I believe it is the same issue (unless someone possibly reprinted it).

Day 257
The next item(s) are a newer issue. I don't want to admit how many boxes of Cracker Jack I "ate" (threw out) to get these. ***Those are not my fingers in the first pic*** 2004 Cracker Jack sticker and dupes... https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...ckClemente.bmp https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...menteDupes.jpg |
