Took a run at it, Dan, but fell short by quite a bit. Thought the price was pretty strong.

Was going to upgrade some of mine and sell off the rest with you getting first crack at the Cappelletti. Sorry I fell short.

So not a SINGLE collector other than me picked up a football item in the BST Auction? I'll get my stuff scanned in soon and post here and the Ode to Pre War thread but hoping for more images from members

I was fortunate to win a small group 1960 Topps/OPC Football Tattoos in BST and buy a collection from an old-time collector in the same week!!
These are probably the rarest Topps FB issue. Similar to the Baseball, but much rarer. Comprised of College Team Logos, FB action scenes, Pro Team Logos, and 14 Players. Not all have been seen as individual Tattoos to my knowledge.

Here are my extras: 10 College Logos and 8 Action Scenes. Some have some paper residue on the back from a stamp hinge, but many that have surfaced are that way. They were printed by OPC in Canada. To my knowlege it was the 1st time they labelled a product with OPC.

Except for some blank-backed proofs from Topps Vault and some cut down remnants of full Tattos, you will not find a single full-sized 1960 Topps FB Tattoo on Ebay. In fact, I don't believe you can find a dealer in the US or Canada that has one. I am waiting to hear back from one board member this weekend, so let me know if your interested via a PM.

I won 5 lots....

* Roman Gabriel Rookie Card Original Flexichrome Artwork
* John David Crow Original Flexichrome Artwork
* King Hill Original Flexichrome Artwork
* Lew Carpenter Original Flexichrome Artwork
* Yankees Scroll Pennant

I regret not going harder after a few pieces...

Lance Alworth Original Artwork for '65 Topps Card
Sammy Baugh Granger Ad Sign
Gale Sayers Wilson Ad Sign
Red Grange Doll
Red Grange Football Boxes (both beautiful)

Was an under-bidder on all of those, but decided to save some money for REA, Goldin, Heritage and Huggins. And if BST's Chesterfield Ad Sign was in better shape, I'd have been all over that as well. Just way too many choices right now!

That said.... I though BST did a great job, and eagerly await their next auction.

If anyone wants these lots at the minimum please drop BST a line; I am the consignor.

I lost out on the 1978 Topps Holsum uncut sheet -- congrats to whomever nabbed it. I'd classify it as a pre-production sheet since the checklist has a yellow background whereas all the checklist cards I've seen have a white background. --Tim
