You may very well be right, but I don't recall ever seeing a severely miscut 1974 Traded card showing it borders a regular 1974 card or a 1974 hybrid uncut sheet showing both 1974 regular cards and traded cards.

First, I hope the knee heals nicely!

On the Fun Packs - I was talking about the West Corp. package, of the sort shown here.

I think you are talking about the larger bag with multiple packs, which I think did have the 2-card wax packs?

I assume the West Corp. packages are not a Topps release in any sense, but that the larger bag with the individual packs was released by Topps?

The larger fun pack bags were overstock and returned product and packaged multiple ways by Topps. Some had full packs over the years and others had the rainbow wax packs. These were often heavily sold at Halloween for trick or treating.

Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s, I remember getting them from the cool houses. I still have plenty of Close Encounters cards from one year that seemed to be the only cards in the fun packs that Halloween

Hmmm, thought I had more related to 1974 Traded. This is all I can find, seems to indicate 44 cards printed 3 times on a 132 card sheet. John

P.S. TY Dewey. First week is rougher than they say ��

Very cool!

I love the tray offers on these.

Absolutely freaking cool things that the community has here. I'm loving this particular flashback.

And, thanks to the generosity of a person here, there is an error sheet on the mail in team sets.

DITH - I can scan and send it to you if you'd like. Or maybe you already have a sample of it.

Correct, the West Corp packs are not a Topps release
