I'm among those who avidly pursue Checklists.

Disclaimer that I'm not much of a set collector to start with - but when I thought I was going after the '63 Topps set earlier this year, when I found sharp unmarked checklists down at the LCS - I bought them up before anyone else could, lol.

I am a set builder and the checklists are very important to me.

In my sets I have unmarked and decently centered checklists. In addition, I have all know variations plus many print variants.

My sets from 1967 to 1971 also have the marked checklists that I completed those years as a 10 to 14 year old.

All Topps sets, ungraded in binders, plus variations, plus unopened pack, plus any pack insert ads and salesman sample if any, plus any pack insert sets, plus any separate supplemental or test set issued that year by Topps, from 48 and then 51 to 2024. Also all the Heritage sets so far

Wow!

But I take it that you're not interested in all the variants of the wrappers issued every year.

I'm particularly interested in seeing any pack insert ads and salesman sample cards you have. Can you post some pictures?
