Yep. I would have said I had a complete set of the Plaqs until Larry paraded that Mays out a couple of years ago

Like the 65 Embossed I doubt even their moms could identify most of the players but there are two versions of the Mantle, big nose and little nose

Its crazy, for many many years..even the big name price guide publishing " experts "..claimed that Topps did NOT produce a Mays

and yes, as far as artistic/lifelike looking images..... Ah,,NO

I don't remember which is which, but there are actually 3 3 player sprues with Clemente. The actual individual Clemente Plak has his name spelled properly on 1 version and spelled without the last "E" - Clement - on the other.

I have the Yastrzemski/Killebrew and there is a Wynn/Santo on ebay. They both have Clemente spelled correctly. Mile High found 12 different combos including the 2 with Clemente, but there were some players who were on 3 different ones. Maybe that is why you think there is a 3rd of Clemente? Of course the Mays above is a 13th different combo. Have there been any other new ones since the Mile High find?

So it's 20/24 now-makes me hope the Aaron, Drysdale, Peters and F. Robby turn up eventually. I've updated the blog post linked above to reflect the Mays. I see it's discovery was maybe only a couple of years ago, is that right?

Larry would know for sure Dave, but think it was a few years back, maybe Mile High.

Sitting at 19 myself I hope the others are lost forever 😉. But given the 24 on the checklists it seems logical that at least a prototype exists for each. Unfortunately, unlike the Dice cards Topps could not staple examples in a binder 😙
