1968 test 3-d and Atlantic oil PANEL questions
 

Hello all,

I have 2 questions today.

1) Has anyone seen or owned (own) any 1968 Atlantic oil 2 player panels? Players? Scans? Opinions on how many are out there?

2) What is your opinion of the breakdown of blank back 1968 Topps 3-d's vs printed backs (any color).

Bob? Larry? Dave? Anybody else?

Please post or e-mail me with your thoughts/input

Thanks.

Panel is on the bay right now

panel

3-ds
 

blank back most common..
then red stamps
black stamps are much much tougher

estimate on percentages please
 

50/50 blank/printed (both colors)
60/40? 70/30?

Any input on the Atlantic oil panels? Do you own any? Thanks.

Here is a scan of a 68 Atlantic Oil single card. I'm not sure how exaclty they were distributed though.

Here is a 67 Ashland Oil card as well.

Here's an unopened pack unfortunately not mine so can't help beyond this.

68 3ds
 

my guess would be
80 blank
17 red
3 black
they had that "big" find in texas of cards from packs and they were all blank backed
all the uncut sheets are blank backed
i dont think the stamped ones were sold in packs

Thanks Larry. Bob? Dave? You out there?
 

Thanks for the scans Steve. That panel and pack are pretty cool.

I'm here, been a very busy couple of weeks with the family but the end is in sight!

I do not know how many of each 3-D back exists in the wild. If I have the time I will dig out KO's article on the 3-D's or if someone else has it, I believe he goes through the scarcity levels.

I have no clue at all about the Atlantic Oil cards.
