1967 Topps 6th Series

[jchcollins]

I would imagine the 6th series is tougher than the 1st, but I know of no accepted explanation of it being anywhere on par with the difficulty of the 7th series.

What bugs me is sellers who don't know the numbers and just generally list cards with 500 or up on the back as a "high number." Uh, no, high numbers start at #534.

I assume there are no known images of 6th series sheets out there? I checked my small but growing uncut sheet folder and I have sample images from 1-5 and 7 (some grabbed from these boards).

I checked my archive and do not have an image of the sheet either. Not that that means much

I like that the grade 6 Shaw is half the price of his grade 5 Shaw.

And the "grade" 4 and 4.5 are more than the 6 as well!

I actually found a half dozen 6th series commons - including Shaw - last night at Mantlerulz on eBay for decent prices. Grabbed them for $40 shipped, which tells you they were priced a lot nicer than most.

Also -- these cards were interestingly released around the country. The first sale I made at the 1984 NSCC was to a St. Louis dealer who was always short on those cards. Apparently they were not released in St. Louis but the 7th series was so there were always a lot of the high series in St. Louis back in the day. Makes sense as the Cardinals would win the WS that season.

So I would wager the production of the 6th series was not as high as you might think for a semi-high series. At one point I also heard that Tim McCarver #475 was always an instant sell-out

I collect sheets but have not seen a 6th series sheet

Nothing to add to the discussion on 6th series pricing, but here's a card I sold a few months ago.

There are two series sheets from the 60’s that Kevvyg1026 and I can’t even commence to reconstruct, 1966 Topps 6th Series and 1967 Topps 6th Series because of the lack of partial sheets, wrong backs, and miscuts. 1966 Topps 4th Series, 1969 Topps 3rd Series, and 1969 Topps 7th Series aren’t far behind.
