Uncut sheets

[Jim VB]

jmoran19,

Thanks. I wasn't really questioning you. Just finding it hard to believe. I've been "around" uncut sheets for years and had never heard of, or seen any in that size.

When I was a kid in the early 1960's my dad used to work for the A&P, at their factory in Bush Terminal in Brooklyn. Their trash hauler also had Topps on their route and would routinely bring by uncut sheets that had been tossed out. My brother and I would cut them up into cards. (I know. I know.)
We always had the most cards in the neighborhood, but with lots of miscuts. I'm talking 100's of sheets, every year.

Before this I was unaware that they were actually "half sheets."

Flash forward 40+ years and I have never seem a "full sheet" in an auction, only the 132 card versions.

Thanks again. Learn something new every day.

Those sheets are unbelievable! How long do you own them? Where (auction, collector, sanitation worker) did you get them?

Sorry, should have stated that I don't own any of them. The 66 and 72 ones I believe where from Mastro auctions and the 71 sheet was on ebay.
