Day 300 – 27 October 2024
As a baseball card / odd ball collector I have tried to collect all sets that Brooks Robinson appears in. That is a crazy task. I have quite a few sets he appears in and have shown some on here (Net54). Today, I am excited to report I completed my 1973 Topps Candy Lids set. This set is a test issue with 55 different players printed on the bottom of a candy lid. This 1 7/8”diameter lid was included with each pack of Topps “Baseball Stars Bubble Gum” part of a small tub of candy-coated gum kernels. Each lid has a pull tab and is unnumbered. These were mainly tested on the East Coast with some light testing in the Midwest. I found Ryan, Munson and Jackson to be the hardest to find. The Mays, too, but surprisingly more available. I will likely upgrade a few still. Included are the 55 lids with my graded Brooks and the Brooks proof graded. Enjoy.
