Agreed...took me a while to find one.

I always wonder who cut up that sheet.I always imagine in my mind ,someone at Topps in 1971 with a paper cutter. Must have been in a hurry or late for the meeting to proof the set !

Day 255

Was able to upgrade my 1970s Team Issue photo (textured) and added another variation.

Were the the Bazookas ever issued from a sheet or just from the whole box?, in which case that looks to be quite a clean cut for, say, a seven year old...

The numbered 1971 bazooka were never issued as a full box, full of gum that you could buy at the grocery store. They were sheets cut up.. by someone... probably at Topps along time ago.

The numbered cards are on a white card stock, while the unnumbered "official release" is on grey card stock.
Numbered panels can also be found... Very rare to find the 3 card panel.

I believe this next item was a stadium giveaway. I have seen more than one copy floating around, but definitely a period piece.

Day 256

When I first saw this next item, I immediately noticed the color & clarity of the photo. When I compared it to the photo above, you can really tell the difference. I do believe that both were issued in the same time frame, but maybe the matted one was in a first print run and then later they printed more of a slightly lesser quality. I'll post a side by side to show the difference. The photo on the right is the more common variation. I believe the photo on the left was part of a small booklet (which Howard made reference to earlier), mine has been cut from that I believe.

The photo comes out of the frame

I believe it is the same issue (unless someone possibly reprinted it).

Day 257

The next item(s) are a newer issue. I don't want to admit how many boxes of Cracker Jack I "ate" (threw out) to get these.

This is my new favorite "Clemente" pick up. I named my son after my childhood hero. Yesterday my switch hitting shortstop passed the Bar Exam. I couldn't be more proud of him.

Awesome Mike! Congrats to your son.

Congratulations Mike!!

Awesome stuff!! Children imho are life's biggest blessing.

That's great Mike! It takes great parenting to teach one to pass the bar.

It's not a reflection on MY parents that I had trouble passing several local bars.

I'm surprised every single one of those 1970 Mail-out Photos hasn't already been gobbled up by a hoarder at hugely exorbitant prices. Look at the very first person named in the photograph: Tony Bartirome!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

I won this next item on eBay last year and when I received it, I was surprised at how small it actually was, even though this is the smaller variation of two coins. There is also a pendant version in addition to the two coins. I posted a picture with a quarter for size reference.

I like the slides. Some were going for big bucks when the seller first started selling them, but it seems he has a neverending supply of them.

Here's a couple more I picked up.

I like the slides, but I’d like them even more if I found ones has nice as the one you pictured.

Thanks Mark, I picked up 2 more today. I can't help myself. I think shots like these are art. I also think they are very under valued. The seller has a number of Clemente slide but the portraits I have been picking up are some of the better ones.

Those are some great looking store model bats. Love the variety of styles that you have in your collection.
