Posted By: AlGood ones, Anthony. I really like the 1973 reprint cards...even though they are not really a reprint, and even though Topps screwed up 3 of the 8 cards in the set. After attending last years National, I kind of knew Bob was not using that Zest soap

Posted By: Dave HornishI've never even seen a scan of a 71's Rookie All Star Proof, let alone a printed example. I have seen at least a scan of every other pre-1980 Topps test issue but that one remains elusive. Anyone have one they can post?

Posted By: AlI have a set of those ( Bob F too) ...tough set. One of the toughest 80 sets...harder than the eEcased and harder than the 1985 Minis. The 1982s can also be found in blueless ( same as blackless but missing blue rather than black ink)..but probably only 1/2 the number of blackless

They are very rare and extremely difficult to find. Here are a few of mine. A PSA 4 or 5 is considered very high grade in this issue.

Posted By: Randy TrierweilerHoward, in a word, yes. You are correct it is not a reversed negative. Gibson was messing around and posed left handed in this never issued proof. Randy

Posted By: JoshThe Esslinger's Home Run Derby Card is awesome, I have never seen one of those. Any idea if they issued the entire Home Run Derby set in that format or only a couple players? Anyways, here are a few other neat odd-ball items: 1972 Candy Lids Proof Sheet <img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj262/josh48067/72candylids.jpg"> <img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj262/josh48067/72venezuelankaline6.jpg"> <img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj262/josh48067/77venezuelanbrett5.jpg">
