I thought the only CL's in the MB set of 77 cards were the two different Marichal variations. The Robinson CL was part of the game, too?

Just wanted to chime in to acknowledge the great job Carlton did on putting this article together. He's been an immense help over this past year as I've hunted these cards aggressively. Everything he has said about these cards are true. A few collectors will be all it takes to start drying the inventory up. The MB story is a great one which I think will resonate with collectors. It's also very reasonable to believe these cards eventually end up in a Super Set. Great opportunity to find these cards now... Putting this set together has been an absolute blast!
BTW.... Just the Marichal checklists are in the MB set |

I was fortunate enough to have Carlton ask me to help on his project. He emailed me the scans of each card and gave me the coordinates on where it would have appeared on a sheet and I simply pieced it together. Here is a larger version of the picture of the sheet since the one on the article isn't very big.

I think it will be a while before these are dried up because they are so dispersed and embedded. |

Thanks for posting that Joe.
Saved makes the point that some sellers may be unaware of this set and mix them with regular Topps 1968 cards in their inventory. When I was putting my set together I came across a few sellers offering cards from the later 1968 Toppps series as MB cards because of the similar backs. If collecting this set it is important to be familiar with the checklist. Anyone here have the complete game with cards ? I know Carlton has a few. I am just a baseball guy so it is not on my list. Anyone collect the football set ? The hot rods ? Last edited by ALR-bishop; 07-15-2014 at 08:05 AM. |
