Topps 1968 Milton Bradley set

[ALR-bishop]

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 ?

I do agree that there are still quite a few of these yet uncovered. However, they will be spread out thinly through many different collections. Hardly anyone will have a lot of these. I've contacted a ton over people over the past year (probably over a thousand or so) with regard to these cards; many big dealers included. Your going to find that a lot of the big dealers have been cleaned out and have very few. After they've been cleaned out, its going to take a long time for them to restock. I've also inquired with many sellers about MB's in their collections, and have scored quite a few of these this way (I have approx 800 total) I do expect to see a minor glut of these cards as people start to figure out what they have and attempt to make a few bucks. I just think a few collectors could put a serious dent in what's available. I guess time will tell.

Al,

Thanks so much for taking the time to post the Brooksie MB. Your example looks to be in very nice condition as well.

Mark,
Here's a picture of a Brooks MB with a top border (lower part of the Ron Mix card). For whatever reason, there aren't many Brooks cards cut with the border. I have about 30 Robinson MBs and only a few with this border.

Here is one of my two PSA 8 Robinsons. Came from my "Game 7" purchased for a minimal sum over 20 years ago from an antique/toy dealer in the midwest. I have a couple raw cards that may equal or surpass this one but I did think this one was undergraded. To date this game has yielded 8 PSA 9 cards, still have some more to be graded. I thought the centering was perfect on this one.

You really shouldn't have more Brooksie MB's than a Brooks collection... So if you ever make a reduction to the 30, please let me know.

Thanks so much for posting the Brooks MB cards; I really enjoyed the view...
