Yessir on the fire; I've found CCC ads with singed 1971 Greatest Moments mentioned, can't trace the singed Supers yet but I have an ad somewhere mentioning.

The 69 Super set is my 2nd favorite Topps set. I am not a graded collector but ended up with several of these graded as purchased, including a Mantle PSA 9 ST, which might be related to that issue

I also have a straight PSA 10 Rose and straight 9s of Mays, Allen, F Robinson, Horton, McClain and Stottlemeir , and a Clemente 8, and a Tiant GAI 10. All bought many, many years ago. Several other 8s but many ungraded.

Neat article! I was 1 year old in 1976!

Here are my 1969 Topps Supers. It wasn't Gibson that had water damage...it was McCarver.

I love the notion that poor condition cards were valued at 50% of mintish cards. Imagine if a PSA 1 ‘52 Topps Mantle was half the cost of a PSA 8.
