1968 Topps Milton Bradley Cards
Posted By: Paul
In 1968, Milton Bradley produced a game that included 1968 Topps baseball cards (and 1967 Topps football cards) as part of the game. They are catalogued in the Standard Catalog under "Topps". The fronts of these cards are identical to the regular Topps cards. The difference is supposed to be the backs, which are supposed to be a lighter shade of yellow than the regular cards. |

But I don't really have an answer. I just checked all mine, re the variation of regular issue Topps. I have no MBs. I pulled a few hundred from wax packs in the year of issue. Most backs have that rich peach color and then I'll run across one or two that are partly drained of that richness, like a spicey mustard (getting hungry here) quality, numerically right between the rich ones. A couple of years surrounding '68 are like that too. |

I think it depends upon which Topps series (1, 2, 3, 4 etc.) you are talking about. I agree, though, there is a great deal of confusion on these. I'll try to look at my notes tomorrow but I don't think there is much real info. Bob Lemke I am sure has a few details or at least did back in the SCD days. Bob? |

The yellow back of the MB cards is a different shade of yellow from the range of shades you'll find regular 68's in from other series. |

I'll try to post better scans later in the day, but it seems to me that my Jim Kaat is indistinguishable from my 2 Milton Bradleys. |

This Milton Bradley set is really starting to increase in popularity. My Dad actually bought me the Win-a-card board game in 1968. I remember telling him how bad I wanted to get a Bob Gibson, my favorite player. He said, "now don't get disappointed if you don't get him, there's only so many cards in there". A couple seconds later, "BOB GIBSON!!!" My Dad couldn't believe it. |

I picked up the Carew in a lot of 1968 cards unexpectedly, saved these from a ebay auction a few years ago |

Here are some enlarged scans of my Milton Bradley Mathews and my ordinary Topps Lolich. I just can't see much of a difference in the back colors. My Lolich is lighter than most other Topps cards, but it seems like the Milton Bradleys fit within the range of ordinary shades for regular Topps cards. |
