Let's see some uncut sheets...

[tedzan]

I have seen 1950, 1951 and 1952 (Small issue) FB uncut sheets.

Also, back in the 1980's, I had all 3 uncut 36-card sheets of the 1948 Bowman FB set.





Incidently, speaking about FB....one of my all-time favorite FB players hails from your state....John Riggins.

Mr Riggins was a heckuva character. Bet he could still crack some skulls.

Would love to see a 55 sheet someday. Can't get much more colorful than that.

Should just call this the Ted thread. Looks like he has the market cornered on this stuff..........

Ted is the king - he probably owns a dozen of these, but I'll post mine first.

It's not pre-war, but I think it's kinda cool.



Here's the description from when I bought it. Not sure how much of it is REA hyperbole, but nonetheless the piece is neat.

"color-process proof sheet from the 1968 Topps set consisting of forty-four cards, including the key rookie card of Nolan Ryan and Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, and Carl Yastrzemski. Printed on a thick paper stock (similar to vinyl), the sheet is arranged in four rows of eleven cards with large margins on top and bottom, the latter of which includes black, blue, magenta, and yellow color spectrum lines. Crop marks are also visible in all four margins. All but one of the cards appear as they would in final production when viewed from the front; the Yastrzemski checklist, however, is missing all of the black text which would normally appear in the checklist portion of the card, suggesting that the offered sheet may have been one press run short of a final production version. The back of the sheet is blank. These sheets were used by the printer for the purpose of checking colors, registration, and generally proofing the cards before final production began. Bright and clean, both front and back, with a small, almost imperceptible, tear along the bottom edge and a chip out of the upper right corner, neither of which detracts from the overall presentation. The Nolan Ryan rookie card, which is situated in the lower left corner of the sheet, displays exceptionally well and is an ideal highlight. Dimensions: 21 x 28 inches.

Very nice sheet. Is it the same one that was sold at the 2012 National?

Scott,

I don't know as I got mine from REA. When I was reseaching mine prior to bidding I saw that one from the Topps auction and wondered if it was the same one.
