As the title says, I'm looking for a few UNSCRATCHED 1980 Topps Hit to Win that came out of 1980 Topps Baseball Wax Packs. They were a test market thing. Not super rare but certainly more scarce than 1981 Topps.
Please do not offer me 1981 Topps. I don't need any of those. Also, I already know what is on ebay, thank you.
Anyone have a few laying around?

How much are you paying for one? I know a person that has a bunch of them.
I would probably pay 5.00 without the red star and 15.00 with the red star if they are unscratched and the scratch surface is not damaged. I would hope to get a bit of a discount if I bought a few.
I don't know why but I have no recollection of this game inside of 1980 Topps baseball wax packs.
What was the test market area that did this? Did they advertise this on the outside of the packs of the test market? Must not have been in Minnesota.
I definitely remember 1981 -- think I may have actually won something small. It definitely gave me a gambling itch at age 11 -- one I'm glad that I don't itch often...
Found this on eBay -- interesting to learn something like this...

I don't remember seeing anything like that back in 1981 in Massachusetts and that was the last year that I can remember that I collected anything and everything I saw in cards.
1980 or 1981
I will check tonight to see if I have any loose hit to wins from 1980. Interested in any graded ones?

Those scratch offs are from Topps Super packs. They were cellos that came with the wrapped bazooka gum on the base of the cello pack.
Robg144 thank you for the photo.
I do not know where the test market was exactly but I do remember opening them in 1980 as a kid in Northern New York.
Robg144, I'm probably not interested in them already graded. I think raw is good enough for me.
