One of the collections had starter sets of 1971 and 1973 Topps. It also included 23 out of 24 1970 Topps Booklets, but not a single card from 1970 Topps. The one missing card, I mean booklet, was #24, Willie Mays.
One of the other collections that I bought contained a starter set of 1970 Topps, so these will go nicely with that set once I finish it.
I know it's only a 24 card set, but I can't recall ever finishing off a set with the last card from the set.
Lots of big names like Reggie Jackson, Ernie Banks, Orlando Cepeda, Pete Rose, Bob Gibson, and Willie Mays, but there are lots of other lesser known players like Wally Bunker, Denis Menke, Deron Johnson and Bob Moose.
I wanted to document each booklet in its entirety, but the binding makes the last two pages nearly impossible to scan or even photograph effectively without causing significant damage.
Don't know what the very first Topps insert was, but I think the 1961 Topps stamps were inserted into packs of baseball cards.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I thought of was the early 60's stamps too....but some may consider the 1957 Bazooka 'Contest' cards as some type of insert within the packs of that year, as well.
