Topps Dice Cards

[raulus]

Anyone care to speculate on whether the sheet is worth more as a whole or whether it’s worth more when cut into individual cards?

If history is any guide, a skillful pair of scissors could net PSA 8s all around.

I saw 3 of these at a card show in Coral Springs FL back in the 1990s...Mickey Mantle, Stan Musial and Frank Robinson. They were in a small case by themselves, with no price. The vendor said they were not for sale, at any price. I asked if I could see one. He said, I'm sorry, but no. Only ones I have ever seen .

If you’re ever in Portland, drop me a line. You’re welcome to come over and check mine out. I’ll even let you hold it, assuming the slab doesn’t cause your skin to melt!

That's awfully kind of you, sir. If I am, I will do so!

I haven't seen good photos yet but I have been told there is some staining to the front of the sheet. So, good bye PSA 8's

This will be an amazing offering. One at my age I will have to pass on. Up to 1994 I have collected all Topps sets, including insert, supplemental and test sets. But for certain unissued test sets I have decided to settle for examples.

These are wwhat in my experience are the toughest Topps sets to build

55 Hocus Focus Baseball...missing one
55 Stamps...have only 1
56 Hocus Focus Baseball....done
61/3 Dice...have ony 1
66 Punch Outs ...have only 1
67 Stand Ups ( not 67 Punch Outs)...missing only 1
67 Discs. All Stars & Giants....done
68 Discs...have only a half dozen or so
68 3D...have set but missing one of 3 proofs and the prototype
70 Cloth...have only 2
71 Rookie Artists Proofs...have none
71 Topps Winners....need 5
80 Topps Test Coins...done

Al, you have to complete the Giant Stand Ups! And go for the Gold and Silvers on the 1980 coins-you can do it!

71 AS Rookies are each 1/1 I think, and all locked up. I think they are bespoke pieces made for a specific purpose, like a special dinner.

I still need a 55 Stamp, 66 Punchout, 70 Cloth and a 80 Coin for my Topps type run, although they are all protypes or mockups with the possible exception of the punchouts. Maybe someday...

Well, we all know that when it comes to the opinion sellers, anything could happen.

Hi Guys:

Just got permission to post this:

Interesting choice of venue.

A piece like this will find its level regardless of venue. It will be adequately promoted so that the major players will all be aware. As incredible a rarity as this piece is, remember too that it will always be a niche item. Unless it's a particularly slow news day (in 2025!), it doesn't strike me as something that news outlets would even bother doing a story on. Then again, the world is extra hungry for a feel-good piece, so I may be happily proven wrong. People outside of the hobby (and many within it) wouldn't have the first clue as to what this is and therefore this kind of thing would only be met with a "meh" reaction from nearly everyone whose mind wasn't immediately blown upon first laying eyes on it.

I've never met Steve, but working with him has always been a painless pleasure. Kudos on the consignment.

The 61/63 Dice is a better looking card than the 66 Punch Out, and so probably more desirable but does anyone know which is the scarcest of the two ?
