Coarse stock 1969 Topps Deckle Edge?

[jingram058]

I have a full set of these; raw and not mint by any stretch. I have both, some smooth, some coarse.

Thanks James. My sample size is 63 cards p-ex, 62 in the glossy smooth variety and this Kessinger. Wonder if my sample is biased or if this coarse stock is not common. Definitely doesn’t look as nice as the glossies

Is the back blank? Might be the Canada issued OPC version.

Not an O-Pee-Chee! Blue sig, Topps size, and with the name/number/copyright box and text on back.



Personally, I really love this little set and their cheap availability. I'd love an excuse to build another set if I can figure out how to tell these coarser versions apart readily in scans online...

I'm with you, sir, it's a great little set.

Checked my set, all white and glossy

If Al doesn't have any exemplars of a Topps card, they must not be that easy . Thanks for checking your sets, gents.
