1971 Topps Rookie Proofs

Possibly the 1949 Lummis Peanut Butter set? The pop reports show 19 for PSA and 8 for SGC = a total of 27. I don't have an example to show.

Val mentioned 1949 Lummis Peanut Butter cards. He didn't have an example to show.

And to make this set even more rare there are two different backs! See below

FWIW the dated back NOT showing the Peanut Butter jars seems rarer.

Since Larry names the Topps Dice Card set as the rarest Topps set shouldn't anyone who has any graded examples resubmit them to PSA /SGC to change the flip to 1963 since it has been proven by the Groat card with the Cardinals that they were issued well after 1961? Would they change the flips?

Would the TPG companies change the records too to reflect they are 1963?

This is a really fun thread. Definitely strikes my fancy since there are literally hundreds of vintage boxing cards with fewer than 50 known examples from the issue and I am a boxing card type collector.

Ongoing discoveries coupled with the lack of a universally recognized hobby guide has resulted in many vintage sets, checklists, etc. not being recognized properly, in whole or in part.

Will you resubmit your Mays Dice Card to have them note the proper year as 1963? You could have the first one being recognized with the correct info.

Maybe ask your PSA contact what they would do and provide them with proof including the info from here on Net 54. The Groat with the Cardinals is indisputable proof!

Hi Fred:

I’m certainly open to it. Not sure that it’s absolutely necessary, and I’m not convinced that PSA will be excited about changing their labeling.

There have only been 3 of the Pete Rose and 2 of the Johnny Bench graded from the 1968 Uniroyal Reds set.
