|  Topps sell sheets -- HELP!!! 
			
			Hello, I am looking to add Topps sell sheets to my Topps sets. I need several since I just started this little project. I am not looking for originals. I have found some images of these on the internet. If anyone has any, especially from the 1950's through 1990's, I would appreciate it if you would post a link here so I can copy them for my sets.  I know there was a guy on these boards who had some posted back in 2008 but those images are now broken links. If anyone has these, please let me know!! Thanks!! Craig from Texas |

|  Sell Sheets 
			
			Hello Craig. I have been collecting Topps sets a long time, what exactly do you mean by a sell sheet ? Is it an advertisement for a particular year of Topps cards ? Or are you referring to salesman samples, which are pre production cards with advertising on the back ? What years are you looking for ? Take a look at http://toppsarchives.blogspot.com and see if you can find what you are looking for on it. Great site for Topps items no matter how obscure Where in Texas are you located. I am in San Antonio Last edited by ALR-bishop; 10-21-2011 at 07:52 AM. |

			I don't have any scans handy but sell sheets were used to promote sets to jobbers and retailers.  They were a simple one page summary with some illustration and pricing plus a description of the issue at hand.  The illustrations could be a little crude in the early days and improved as time went on.  I think these were all printed, unlike the cards, at Bush Terminal, Topps' Brooklyn HQ.  Even after the move to Duryea in early '66 I think they still cranked these out in Brooklyn for a while.

			There is another board member that has a library of these, I've sent him a note in the hopes that he'll jump in and post what he has- he's always been very generous with his research.
