1964 Topps Photo Tatoo question
 

Posted By: <b>Randy Trierweiler</b><p>Does anybody know if the wrappers (backs of the tatoos) come in different colors for the same players? I have Flood, Groat, and the Cardinals team in a blue back, and Ken Boyer in a red back. <br /><br />Randy

1964 Topps Photo Tatoo question
 

Posted By: <b>Al</b><p>Randy...I have a set of these and my Cardinals all have the same color backs as yours. I do have both of the 'front' variations to Killebrew, Mantle and Koufax;<br /><br />A minor mystery, at least to me, is why Topps called them Tatoos in 1964, but called them Tattoos in 1960. That difference caused me some problems when I was piecing those sets together via e bay searches<br /><br />Al

Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>Al, have you tried a multiple item search, ala:<br /><br />Topps (Tattoo,Tatoo)

1964 Topps Photo Tatoo question
 

Posted By: <b>Randy Trierweiler</b><p>Al, I noticed the difference in spelling too. When I was searching on Ebay I did as Dave suggested and searched both spellings. <br /><br />Does anybody else have input on the tattoo colors? <br /><br />Randy

Posted By: <b>Al</b><p>Good suggestions. I am, as Bob knows, a slow learner. If i were at SeaWorld, I would be a fish sandwich by now. Fortunately, I am done with these two sets

doug
so right now we know of 8 tatoos with 2 color wrappers?
if anyone has a double of mantle red triangle redback for sale let me know
thanks
sflayank@aol.com
i combined the lists on here and came up with this
39 blues
24 yellows
24 reds
87 total so far....multiple of 3
i will have to go check my set
you 2 guys combine to have 8 players with 2 color wrapers all of which are yellow and red
athleics davalillo fregosi koufax diag mantle red triangle ward willey and williams

Boyer and Stuart
 

I added them in, Boyer-red and Stuart-blue

I think your totals will be divisible by 3, 8 and 24 when all is said and done, although the two-color players may not end up divisible by 3. Haven't had time to really digest this all and won't for a few more weeks but there is always a pattern with Topps.

As Larry mentioned, I count 39 blue, 24 red, 24 yellow, there are 8 with both red & yellow. No blue backs are duplicated with another color back. So far.

Based on these posts, I need the Mantle triangle with a yellow back, and Willey with a red back...

I have trade bait...

Mantle
 

I have your Mantle Bob...and am taking good care of it :)

Do any of you guys have any thoughts on the Yellow Torre and Red Maz that I see in my notes?

I seem to remember an ebay auction with the Maz that I slept through while in some weird timezone.

Not sure where I got the Torre info.

Tattoos
 

I just collected the set and front variations without regard to the backs and so far only 2 of the 3 packs, so no help here.
