1969 topps white letters….is it worth the chase?
I brought a complete 69 set and working on a couple upgrades for it. Down to 3. I decided to pick up some E/V’s for the set but haven’t decided if I wanted to do the white letters……(minus the mantle lol) I think there are 24 or so of them
What would you guys do or did? should I? Or just no? Updated…….im going for the WL’er…..minus mantle Last edited by Elberson; 03-30-2025 at 07:00 PM.

I did them, but glad to have gotten the Mantle a long time back

It's funny, I just touched on this while making an SGC Reveal video, because I had sent a pair of them in.
They used to be magical, treasured finds, but if you actually look up sold prices for PSA 6s or 7s of say, Casanova, they're less than $30! That was entirely shocking to me. Shouldn't these rarities be more 'valuable'??? Big bummer. But to answer your question (as a variation nut), "Hell yes!!!!"

I skipped them, about the only Topps variation I’ve skipped. The problem to me is that, while 100% legit, it’s so easy to take a yellow letter and remove the yellow to create a white. Not a big deal when I’m buying a $8 Jose Arcia, but with the Mantle the money incentive and difficulty in identifying a card spot doctored to fade the yellow out of that spot while covering the rest of the card from the light used is just too high considering how easy it is to fake. I have a few of them, but I’m skipping the full set, which does feel wrong for my master runs.

The white letter versions are included in master set lists. If you don't care about master sets or your OCD does not require "completion" of the 69 set there is no reason to pursue I guess
 . You can then instead start on the 1969 "Super" set
