I bought one of the Puffy Sticker packs from a dealer in Norcross Georgia years ago. At that time based on the little info he had I put it in with my 1977 sets. Not sure why now.

Because it is poorly constructed and has so many mistakes it could easily be a fake, but you would think someone trying to put together a sellable fake would do a better job. So maybe it was a prototype idea by some Topps employee.

We do know Topps could make mistakes in it's own issues as evidenced by getting 3 of 8 players wrong in their 1973 reprint of the 1953 set. See below

And the Bench/Carew sticker below is also a mistake but listed by Lemke in the SCD Catalog as a Topps item. Who knows ? The Aaron/promo card below is definitely a fake. It's a pasted Surf Book picture. Bob listed it in Catalog as a fake

The Mantle Mask below is listed in the Catalog as a Topps send away item, but probably is not. But has been high priced since listed in the old SCD Catalogs

Not sure about the 67 Comics either

Hard to say on the Puffy Stickers but it is a neat item. Yours is just the second I have seen. Let's hope they do not start showing up everywhere for every year like Christmas Rack packs
