Heritage Auction

cool story that might have happened..

.but Ive always thought these rare " missing 3" ...there were quite a few that made its way into the hobby

While these are better known, possibly because they have traded hands a few times, there are other Topps Prototypes. I own 2. See attached pictures. 1972 Clemente prototype and 1967 Topps Pinup Sticker.

That Pin Up is awesome Howard. It was in the Big Book

To me absolutely the holy grail is to complete the ‘51 AS set. Those short prints are absolutely impossible. I have a Berra which I am very proud to own but that card is easy compared to these three.

I am aware of what I believe are five extant copies each of the three rare MLAS cards and can't tell if these bring each pop to six as I don't have great scans/back scans for some examples. I got into the weeds on the origin of some of these awhile back, curious if anyone can shed more light on the current Heritage offerings or overall. The summary of origin conclusions are at the end of the post:

I think there's an excellent chance the Roberts gets to $150K or so, not sure the other two will get to six figures but it's going to fun to watch.

These are as close as I will get, courtesty of a fellow board member. I do have the other 8 and the 11 Connie Macks

Wow, except for Stanky they all went for far less than I expected. Healthy prices to be sure but soft considering the rarity.

With juice:

Konstanty $19,200
Stanky $43,200
Roberts $66,000
