Agreed...took me a while to find one.

I always wonder who cut up that sheet.I always imagine in my mind ,someone at Topps in 1971 with a paper cutter. Must have been in a hurry or late for the meeting to proof the set !

Were the the Bazookas ever issued from a sheet or just from the whole box?, in which case that looks to be quite a clean cut for, say, a seven year old...

The numbered 1971 bazooka were never issued as a full box, full of gum that you could buy at the grocery store. They were sheets cut up.. by someone... probably at Topps along time ago.

The numbered cards are on a white card stock, while the unnumbered "official release" is on grey card stock.
Numbered panels can also be found... Very rare to find the 3 card panel.

Thanks for the history. My only one is the more common un-numbered and I had forgotten there was a distinction, and when ever wondering of the distinction, just presumed they were all boxes, some printed with and some that came out w/o.
