1966 topps salesman samples on ebay
 

So there are like 30 of these 1966 samples currently available on ebay. Does anyone know the seller? I'm not doubting that they are legit, just hard to come across any salesman samples, let alone 20+ from the same seller. Does this guy have one that he is just re-listing at different prices, or is this really that many different ones?

1966 Salesman Sample
 

He was selling them one by one for awhile but I guess he has now decided to list all the ones he has left. I bought one and it was delivered in good order. I think he had a Topps connection. Anthony ( Griffins) may know more

He told me he bought them from a guy connected to Topps, and had something like 144 of them. He certainly flooded the market and crashed the values. I picked up one from him for about $90, but the prices have been all over the place.
If anyone wants one just be patient, the supply certainly exceeds the demand at this point.

RE:Rare 1966 Topps Salesman Sample Pepitone/Niekro/Wagner with Koufax Back
 

The information posted to- date on 'Net 54' regarding the above Salesman Samples cards
is very incorrect. The facts: Five years ago, I had the privilege to acquire 35 of these items
from a former Topps salesman from the 1960s.
We sold 3-4 of these items on eBay- we then had SGC slab the remaining lot.
We currently own 31 of these & have them on sale in our eBay store.
To my knowledge & with confirmation by PSA & SGC - there are NO other known numbers of these to exist anywhere.
Please be more careful speculating & creating made- up information.
Respectfully- Joe R

I very much doubt Anthony was making things up.

ok,

So those are cool, and now bookmarked. I am gonna go bankrupt from all the cool things I find whenever I come here. WOOT!!

B.T.

Since you are basically calling people liars I believe you need your full real name posted.

How by any stretch of the imagination would PSA or SGC know how many of these things are out there? The only thing they would know is how many they have graded.

Any chance the ones you are advertising on here for sale are not the same cards posted about on 9-12-17?

Guys let's move on. We are heading into 2022, 1966 was 55 years ago, until anyone or any grading company comes up with additional identical 3- card panels in their pop reports -it's reckless to assume there are more than 34 of these in existence. All internet searches support this claim. All Salesman's Samples are scarce in nature.
Wishing everyone & their families a Happy New Year,

Actually it's not reckless at all! There are tons of older collectors that couldn't care less about grading and graded cards, that have many amazing unslabbed items in their collections. That is one of the biggest fallacies out there, that TPG population reports accurately reflect the numbers of cards and items that exist. Especially when you start talking about post-war and more modern cards. The only thing that is truly reckless to assume is that there can't possibly be more than 34 of these samples that exist, and that every one still existing has been graded and slabbed, and/or at one time owned by you. And calling out collectors on this forum to show another doesn't prove your claim either if no one immediately comes forward with another example. Nor does claiming others don't exist because you can't find similar samples for sale when you do an online search for them. Since when does every existing example of a card or item have to be put up for sale or otherwise shown online to prove it exists either?

Only a small part of the collecting community are on Net54, and this is primarily a pre-war card collecting site, and 1966 is not pre-war. Also, there are many collectors that are very private and protective of what they have in their collections, and don't easily or often broadcast and share what they have with the rest of the world.

What is interesting though is that you join this forum just last month, and the first ever posts you have on it are to resurrect an over four year old thread about Topps salesmen's samples from 1966, basically call a poster from four years ago in this thread a liar, as another poster already pointed out, and then remarkably claim that there are only 34 Topps salesmen's samples from 1966 that still exist. And guess what, miraculously, you apparently own 31 of these 34 still existing 1966 Topps salesmen's samples that just so happen to coincidentally be up for sale currently in your Ebay store.

If your true purpose was to come on here and promote your items for sale, you should be posting this in the post-war B/S/T threads elsewhere on this forum. Just go to the top of the home page and click on the link titled "Buy/Sell/Trade Section" and you'll find the proper place for touting your goods.

Also, you even further destroy any credibility you may have initially had, regardless of how nominal it would have been to begin with anyway, when you demonstrate you can't do even simple math. You stated buying 35 of these salemen's samples five years ago, and then come on here calling out posters from over four years ago as reckless for reporting what they'd seen or heard regarding the existence of such samples, and then emphatically declaring that no more than 34 of these now exist. Soooooooo, what happened, did one of the 35 you bought got tossed or destroyed somehow? You know, its not a very good look when someone tries calling out others for their supposed inaccuracies when they themselves make inaccurate statements right out in front of everyone with their posts.

Is any of this why you now want people to simply move on...........?
