1975 is one of my favorite sets growing up. So when I saw this I was ready to bid But I noticed the white card on top and its only 24 cards instead of 42.Can anybody tell me if these are real and if so where were they sold/distributed. I don't ever recall seeing these. Thanks

Not 100% but pretty sure those are not real Topps packaging. I believe these are like the Xmas rack packs and are a post production repackaging job.

I don't recall seeing the racks like this either, but the cards pictured do look really nice to me.

At the bottom of the listing the seller added this:

On Dec-12-13 at 05:22:19 PST, seller added the following information:
* Post production pack and the cards are 100% authentic and sharp! *


The seller obviously hid this disclaimer in order to cover himself for selling his repackaged cards.

It looks all wrong, and I don't recall seeing any like that.

But what's interesting is that the product code is different from a normal rack pack. 1-034-93-03-5 instead of 1-034-93-01-5

Anyone have a late 75 early 76 Topps order form?

The Christmas racks have no product code, and no Topps logo.
The fake Christmas racks are pretty funny, printer faked header, and not even the happy holidays printed cello wrap.

I bought one of the Christmas racks a few years ago, a 58. and while the centering isn't great the cards do look pretty sharp, and it has a high number on the back. So it's not complete junk.

Thanks for all the replies. I didn't see his disclaimer. the cards do look sharp and I have never seen these. I don't even think these are like Christmas racks. ithink he made them
