1961 topps dice vs 1966 double punchouts

[sflayank]

while less known than the dice game the 66 punchouts are clearly rarer and are now commanding dice game prices
all the 66 punchouts that have been sold to the public are the blank back variety
i believe these were probably in the hands of gelman etc...
i compare these to the dice game with the staple hole from topps files
while i believe that at one time there were probably 5 of each dice game available 2 factory cut 1 factory cut with staple holes 1 hand cut and 1 sheet still uncut i believe there were probably only 2 of each 66 punchout ever available...one sheet factory cut without the reverse was done and one sheet factory cut in its complete form
how many of each are left out there is anyones guess...but to have a complete master set of someone in these sets..u need it

so who was the buyer?

Not me Larry. I was in Halong Bay that day....and only spent $ 100 for my Junk Boat ride....on the other hand, that was $ 2,085,000 Dong

Boy am I kicking myself. I actually owned that card about 12 years ago - sold it to a big Mays collector for ~2-3k Perhaps Bob is the new owner? Incredible amount of play on it!
