I bought probably one or two packs when they were new. I lived in western Mass, which isn't usually thought of as one of the places they were issued.

I found out about them when I moved to eastern Mass a couple years later. When I got home that day I checked my 75s and had a few.

They're different in a lot of ways from most test sets, which usually had less than production type wrappers, and usually very limited distribution.

What I was told was that by the mid 70's enough people knew about that and would simply buy up all of whatever test stuff they found, making the tests useless to Topps.
The next one I can think of was the non-wax tamper resistant packs in 83, which was also a pretty large test.
