Unrecognizable images did not prevent the issue of the 1965 Embossed set

Put the players names on them - so we knew who they were.

Good point Howard, but then in 1968 they did the limited release of the Plaqs. They had the names on the base but if the base got separated from Plaq the players' own mother would not have recognized them. At least they had the checklists with real photos of the players.

One of my favorite variations is in that set, the "big nose" versus "small nose" Mantle.

$1050 or $1800 is a steal for one of these IMHO. They are essentially each one-of-a-kind.

Someone who worked for Topps at some point recently reached out via my blog and offered me a Garvey coin for $1500. As much as I would like one, that is way more than I am willing to spend for one, regardless of how unique they are. I know there are several floating around, 2 for sure owned by folks in this thread.

This person apparently sold the recent Reggie coin as well.

Default follow up on the reggie coin

Hello, I thought i would share this information since we are all interested in the 1980 topps test coins.....Last week at the National in cleveland ohio I did an in person submission for same day service. The coin that the former topps employee sold me on ebay was real and came back a psa 8. I spoke to him in some length on the phone shortly after the purchase. Very nice man and i am happy that the reggie coin found its way to the reggie room. ...He also sold the garvey and the carew ones on ebay. If you are the owners of them congrats, nice pieces...also when searching huggins and scott completed auctions, you will see that the final bidding for the the coin went to 2300.00. LOL, to me its priceless and i will never sell it

Sorry Al, I must have missed this at the time. I never asked, but he did send me photos. Kind of looks gold when compared to a quarter, but more silver close up with nothing to contrast. Could just be the quality of the photo and the light too.

Someone else on the board bought it from him. I put the two together.
