1965 Topps Information Needed

[deweyinthehall]

After a hiatus, I will be adding a page devoted to the 1965 set to my site.

Some needed information:
1) Penny Packs - held 1 card and gum?

2) Apart from the Pennies, there were 4 varieties of wax wrappers - Top Stars, All the Top Stars, Embossed inserts and Transfer inserts. I am tracking the following type/side panel varieties - interested in any confirmation of others (pictures always needed!) -

All Top Stars - Bazooka gum ad
Embossed - Bazooka ad, Bazooka Joe Club, Battleship toy
Top Stars - Cowboy Boot Ring
Transfers - iron-on instructions

3) What series are the 2 inserts associated with? I've seen a 1st series cello with an embossed.

4) Uncut sheets - I have a full sheet image for the 5th and a single slit from the 7th, but no others. ALL images appreciated - you never know which one will be the best (not even going to ask about the 6th...).

While I have some case and box images, any you care to share will also be appreciated.

Also - any emphemera associated with the set - ad sheets, order forms, etc. - are always great.

Thanks!

I have a 1st Series and a 3rd Series, hopefully someone has a better 3rd. Kevin and I never could figure out how the other 7th Series sheet goes, Kevin might know how the other 1st Series sheet goes.

For 1965 Topps Wrappers, this 2017 lot from Memory Lane Inc (Group of (13) Different 1965 Topps Baseball Wrappers with 1 Canadian Version) is your best source.

I see only one wrapper though.

Under the larger wrapper there is a row of smaller sized wrappers. Click on any of them for a larger view. Also scroll to the right to view the others.

Ahhhh, that was my problem! The web page was obliterating my right side scroll bar. Therefore what I saw was all I could get.

A price of $602.40 for thirteen wrappers was very decent though!

Thanks to all for the images - keep 'em coming!

As to the sheets - I am tracking that we have the following images:

Series 1 - 1 slit (Koufax/Drysdale LL upper right)
Series 2 - Nothing
Series 3 - 1 slit (Wynn upper right)
Series 4 - Nothing
Series 5 - full sheet
Series 6 - Just go onto series 7...
Series 7 - 1 slit (Gaines upper right)

Any more out there I am not tracking?

Great page. My favorite postwar set by far, the first one I collected.

39 HOF players (as players)
1 player who became a HOF manager (Torre)
3 managers who were HOF players (Schoendienst, Herman, Hodges)
3 HOF managers (Stengel, Alston, Lopez)
