1968 Deckle Proofs
They apparently are early proof sheets for the 1969 issue . They can be found with red, blue or black autos. Some of the sheets have been cut and you can find individual cards on ebay. I think Yaz is the only player on the proof sheets who ended up in the set. The same 9 players appear on all 3 sheets but their location differs a little on some.
There was a recent Mile High auction in which deckled versions of these cards ( red autos) were offered and went for substantial sums. The uncut sheets show up on ebay, but not often ( I got all 3 of mine there). The blue autos seem the toughest Last edited by ALR-bishop; 11-14-2012 at 01:44 PM.

Bill -congrats on both finishing the set and closing with a great card.
Hopefully you didn't "need" it so bad as to give a Brian Rusk to get it Last edited by ALR-bishop; 11-16-2012 at 09:07 AM.

Thanks a bunch guys. This set is actually the one that brought me back into the hobby after a 20 year hibernation. In the time it took me to build this one in Ex/Mt or better (about 7 years) I finished the entire 70's decade and started 61 topps, 55 Bowman, 64 standups, 71 greatest moments and T206 HOF portoraits. No lack of projects here!
 Travis, I don't have the entire set graded or scanned but I have attacehd a few that are scanned. Congratulations on starting the set to me personally I think it's second to none as far as beauty is concerned. I found Martin and Reese difficult to find well centered at a reasonable price, somewhat settled on the Martin but it works for me. P.S. Al - I did "NEED" the Koufax oh so badly, but kept it sane!  Some more scans for Travis. Last edited by brob28; 05-02-2013 at 08:27 PM.

1964
Andy- I have always been a fan of the 1964 Giant set. Great photography. Topps did other big sets, 80, 81,84, 85 and 86 come to mind, but this one was their best in my view
