1972 T0PPS test set of 1953 reprints
I am curious as to how rare this set is. It's been reported that TOPPS issued only 300 sets in 1972.
If this is true, then these 8 cards probably rank high as one of the most scarcest post-WWII issues. I'm wondering how many collectors on this forum have any (or all 8) of them ? Here is my set of them.... . Hey guys....show us your cards. TED Z . Last edited by tedzan; 09-06-2016 at 07:35 AM. Reason: Correct typo. |

I have the set, and think I saw most if not all of a set on eBay recently ( offered as singles). I see them offered on eBay from time to time, not infrequently I think.
I still think there has to be more to the story behind this set where 3 of only 8 cards are mis identified. . The idea they had these 8 pictures but wanted to upgrade the set with better named players to market it on a test basis in Brooklyn hoping no one would notice seems far fetched . Do we know of any other hobby publications that noted the issuance or release of the set ? |

I've got a full set now, and at one point about 8 years ago had 3 sets.
Here's mine, I've upgraded the Newhouser shown but don't have a scan of the new one. |

When all the reports of this set clearly state they were issued in '72 how did they get to be known as a '73 set?

I assume because it originally was listed that way in the SCD Catalog.
On a lot of the offbeat Topps sets there has been ongoing debate about year of production, year of release, or whether they were released over a period of time. I think this is a fascinating and mysterious set |
