They probably didn't get saved. The place I worked for recycled all their plates, and some were used as dustpans as they could get under the paper scraps. There was no need to save them as a new plate could always be made from the masks. When the Hunts tried to corner the silver market many of those got recycled too.
Sometimes they'd get used outside the shop. One guy used them to cover holes in his car. And the larger ones made a nice roof for a doghouse  Most of the 62s we see probably came from someones leftovers from some project at home, or were rescued by the recycling guy. Steve B

Hi-
In the early 1990s, there was an advertisement in SCD for the plates. I believe nearly a full set was advertised (the Mantle might have been sold before the ad came out). I purchased two checklists because they were the cheapest ones available (I think I paid 5.00 each plus shipping). I sold them several years ago. I do not remember which dealer had these for sale. If I remember correctly, they were either purchased from a former Topps employee or found in a warehouse. Alan
