1989 Topps Guernsey Auction – Post Auction Pickups?

[laughlinfan]

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.

Picked up this pair of Ranger flexichromes about 10 years ago - just love the colors!

Can someone who owns a copy of this 1989 catalog please check it to see if it has any pics of a 1967 Topps Baseball 6th Series Proof Sheet? It would be invaluable for those of us trying to recreate the 1967 Topps 6th Series Sheet. Keith Olbermann has talked about it extensively, the proof sheet contains a card of Tommie Reynolds that is spelled Tommy Reynolds on the front of the card. Olbermann said that in his 55 years of collecting his biggest regret is not winning the 1989 auction of the proof sheet that contained the Tommy Reynolds error card.

Well, that sucks. Olbermann says that the 1967 6th Series proof sheet was hung on an art easel at the auction site in New York in 1989, maybe a picture someone took of it will pop up someday.

I did figure that it was either a 33 card (3 rows) or a 44 card (4 rows) proof sheet but even that would have been a goldmine for trying to reconstruct the 1967 Topps 6th Series Sheet.
