Really nice looking "3". Congratulations on that pickup. I've included the original action photo used on that card.

That’s a terrific three .
I found another good buy it now on eBay .
Kurtzkardz had more-than-fair price on this one

Very nice. Stan's later Topps issues remain ridiculously undervalued.

I was shut out of the REA auction because I can't stay up past midnight, but I added these this month.

Nice cards, all. Here's Topps artwork for Fred Lynn rookie card.

Great pick ups, Mike, but I encourage you to post them in the pre-War forum, rather than the post-War forum.

.... And that is progressive proofs. Especially progressive proofs, they just looks cool to me and are fun to collect and add to each year of Topps Set I have. When I can find them anyway.

I have been watching this series of 72 Tim Cullen PPs on eBay for a very long time. They came into a good range for me to pull the trigger on a couple of weeks ago and now I have them in my PC. WooT!!!

These were part of the Guernsey's Topps Archive Auction a long time ago. It is interesting to me that the SGC flip is in silver and not the normal green. Not sure if that means anything to anyone, I just thought it interesting. Anyway, thanks to Jeff W. I have these now.

And they will be removed from their encapsulation and added to the binder. That is how I roll........

And I forgot to mention, Tim Cullen, Senator, so score on that part too. I only wish Topps would not have airbrushed his hat for these PP's.

SGC ditched the remaining green with the last major branding overhaul on the flips, which if memory serves was in 2018. The new regular labels where yours are silver are just black.

Very cool proofs! I'm just trying to put together the base '72 Topps set, and not even halfway through that.

Really like the progressive proofs. Jeff W., on eBay, had some ‘75 Topps Brooks proofs, but I just couldn’t afford and someone else picked them up. I collect Brooks so I try to pick up things related and proofs fit the bill; they just hardly ever show up and when they do it’s typically out of my price range.

What gets me is that currently SGC will not put “progressive proof”. Why? Who knows.
