Topps 1968 Milton Bradley set

[savedfrommyspokes]

Nice to finally be able to pat Carlton on the back publicly for this fabulous and informative article as he was generous enough to share a preview a few months back with me. Thank you again Carlton! Over the years I have sent a bunch of these 68 MB BB to Carlton before I decided to start on this set myself(thanks to Carlton for motivating me)....so far I am about 40% complete.

Thanks for posting. Great info. Let's see some 68 MBs!

MB LC Variations...both are MB cards



I have one pair of these with my MB set and one with my 1968 Topps set since they are listed as variations to it in most guides



Koosman




Aaron MB back and regular 68

I thought the only CL's in the MB set of 77 cards were the two different Marichal variations. The Robinson CL was part of the game, too?

Someone show the Brooksie please!

Sorry---good catch Darren. The Robinson variants are from the regular set. I pulled up the wrong scan

Just wanted to chime in to acknowledge the great job Carlton did on putting this article together. He's been an immense help over this past year as I've hunted these cards aggressively. Everything he has said about these cards are true. A few collectors will be all it takes to start drying the inventory up. The MB story is a great one which I think will resonate with collectors. It's also very reasonable to believe these cards eventually end up in a Super Set. Great opportunity to find these cards now... Putting this set together has been an absolute blast!

BTW.... Just the Marichal checklists are in the MB set

I was fortunate enough to have Carlton ask me to help on his project. He emailed me the scans of each card and gave me the coordinates on where it would have appeared on a sheet and I simply pieced it together. Here is a larger version of the picture of the sheet since the one on the article isn't very big.

I have had great luck finding these MB cards (both BB and FB) embedded in random lots....over the past few years, I have probably come across 100+ of these MB cards (if I had kept them all, my BB/FB set likely would have been complete) out the 12-15K cards from these issues I have bought and gone through before reselling. Before Carlton turned me onto these cards several years back, I had no idea they existed, so in the years before, there is no telling how many I missed. Based on my experience with finding these cards embedded in lots(even from experienced dealers), there are a lot of these MB cards still out there lurking in dealer stock, collector sets and accumulations, unknown to their current owners.

I think it will be a while before these are dried up because they are so dispersed and embedded.
