1967 Topps "Punch-Out" Cello Wrapper
 

Long-time "lurker" on this site who collected all sports cards actively as a kid from 1967-71.

I have one of those strange but (I think) rare items that might be of interest to some of the specialized collectors here: a 1967 Topps "Punch-Out" Cello Wrapper. It's definitely from the 1967 Punch-Out set as I've seen pictures on eBay that show the same item and I remember the cards as shown in the Beckett Guides/Pricelist books.

I bought 3-4 packs of these game cards at the corner store near my grandmother's house in central West Virginia in 1967 (or possibly the early spring of 1968- old stock I assume). This would track with the Maryland-Northwestrn Virginia Test-Area I've seen listed for this set. The cards themselves are long gone but the wrapper for some reason (accidentally I'm sure) got stuck in a box and has survived and in decent (but not mint) shape.

Anyone collect this particular esoterica? I'm not really wedded to this item the same way I was to my regular Topps cards and I was thinking I might offer it for sale or trade if someone had a particular interest.

Sorry I don't have a scan but the scanner doesn't seem to want to cooperate this week. Let me know if you're interested and I'll see what I can do about getting an image to you.

Hope this doesn't sound like one of those "found it in my grandfather's cedar chest in the attic-special for you today only" eBay listings, but I thought there might be someone here who would need this to complete their set/collection.

Thanks!
Greg
