Hi Gang:

Thought I would revive this thread.

I had this 1954 Topps ad piece back in the early 70's. It went to Barry Halper when I sold him my collection. I had not seen one before or since, but recently was able to pick up this one.

It is similar to the 1957, 1960 and 1962 adverting panels shown earlier in this thread, which are not salesman samples but seems to have been intended to put in the windows of stores announcing that the new set is now available.

Like those this is blank backed. 7" x 11"

1954 was the year Topps wrangled Ted away from Bowman and used him to start and end the set as well as use him on the boxes, and this ad piece as well.

Anyone else have one of these? The one Halper got from me must be in someone's collection.
