Topps Vault
1989 was the year I graduated high school and baseball cards were the last thing on my mind at the time so I missed the auction. I did pick up lots of Topps Vault items on ebay in the early/mid 2000s though. My favorite (that I still have) is the original card art for the '64 Koufax.

It is true that it was optional to get the Topps stamp put on the items from the original auction. I won a couple of lots and chose not to get the stamp put on the back, mainly because I was worried it would bleed through to the front.
Also, the auction descriptions were not always accurate. I won one group of 1965 back artworks and it was described as 1966 in the catalog. Last edited by Troy Kirk; 07-24-2020 at 07:20 PM.

I wonder how many of the items are still with the original purchasers 31 years later. Some would certainly see even more spirited bidding if they were looking for a new home!
Love that Ty Cobb/Sandy Koufax piece. I have been meaning to start a thread about just the back artwork at some point. I think a dual HOFer (card/subject) is definitely a prized piece! I noticed the same thing, Troy - I think I have some 1966 Topps football line artwork marked FF158, which is listed in the catalog as 1964 artwork, I think.

I think those progressive proofs, especially when displayed as a set, are really cool! That Bench set, especially given the colors of his 75 card, must be great!

Hey Kev!
I went through the catalog looking for 1962-1966 production, proof, and progressive sheets, and it looks like the lots offered started with material in the early 80's and worked it's way back by year to 1967. I don't see any sheet offerings for the years you were looking for - must be the ones that are out there made it to collectors through a different means, or were offered in lots not listed in the catalog.

Did you get that recently? Someone was selling several sets on ebay a bit ago (I don't recall when, maybe 1 year or more ago).
I ended up with the Garvey set. Quote:
