Topps Unopened Supplemental Wax Packs

bobsbbcards

Hi,

If you are sitting at home reading this, then you are probably not at the National (unless you have some 30th century, solar powered, computerized message board thingy strapped to your arm...or a laptop). With all the talk about the amount of unopened material at the show, I thought that maybe some of you might like to see some too.

Hope you enjoy! I will provide scans of unopened Topps Supplemental Wax Packs from 1955 to 1977. There will be a few that I don't have, so feel free to post scans of anything that is missing (and prices if you want to sell...SPAM, SPAM, SPAM).

Bob

Very nice ! Thank you Bob.

UnAmuzd1

That was extremely cool - thanks for taking the time to upload them, so those of us who couldn't make the national still get some eye-candy.

Thanks Bob.

One question (so far) - how do you tell the difference between a 1970 Topps Super pack and a 1971 Topps Super pack? They look identical. I'm assuming you might be able to see the card through the back of the pack to differentiate them?

JEB.

mudflap02

Very nice - I feel like I'm at some sort of support group.

Thanks for sharing, Bob.

JEB,

Exactly right. I bought the '71 first and didn't care whether it was '71 or '70. When I got home, I went through my set to try to figure out who the player was (turned out to be Nate Colbert). The copyright line is the same on both packs (1970) so that doesn't help. I finally saw an auction on eBay where I could clearly see the player showing through the wrapper and bought it. Bit of a pain. The white wrapper for 1970 seems to be very difficult to find.

I'm glad you guys liked the packs! Thanks for the thanks!

Bob

I've heard them talked about, and I get the feeling they're as rare as hen's teeth, but what is a 68 Plak? Let the learning begin...

Try this link. The Old Baseball writeups on Topps test cards are probably the best you will find.

Jeff,

Here's one of the checklists (front and back). You can see why the checklists are in high demand!

Bob - Are these from your collection (unless noted otherwise)?

I remember so many of these from the stores when I was younger.


Thanks,

Keith

mudflap02

Wow-
I can't even imagine what kind of stuff you have stashed away, Bob! You should get a table at next year's national and charge people 5 bucks a head for 5 minutes of viewing your collection - it would probably pay for itself in 2 days! Thanks for the link - very informative stuff on there.

Hi Keith,

Yes, unless noted they are mine. I sat around scanning packs for the last few days (while my wife glared at me). Luckily my 3 year old helped me (DADDY...LEMMEE SEE LEMMEE SEE LEMMEE SEE....) I wish I had run into these in the store when I was younger. Would have saved some dough (ummmm, dough). Do you collect packs?

Thanks Jeff! Oh, by the way, you have been looking at this thread for 22 minutes and 47 seconds. Please PayPal me $23.00 immediately.

mudflap02

I just sent you $30 - that should cover the cost of viewing the thread as well as the contents of the 74 Deckle Edge pack. My address is in the Paypal email.

Nice post, Bob. Thanks for sharing the scans...very interesting collection! I remember those 1977 Cloth Sticker packs like it was yesterday...

bobsbbcards

Jeff,

Sounds good. I'll go ahead and open the pack and see if you get a Ryan...hey it looks like a Ryan....its, its...oh, sorry, its ron bRYANt. Close, but maybe not worth $30.

ctoxfan,
I never got to see these in the store. They were all the rage when I started collecting packs because they were unusual but could readily be found. Probably the first supplemental pack I bought.

Bob;
Not only is this am impressive run of packs... it's an amazing collection! Thanks for sharing it. I always like to see how some of these products were marketed and packaged. One thing I didn't see... 1951 Topps Connie Mack's or Teams. I guess these kind of like supplemental issues if you consider the Blue and Red Backs to be the year's main release. Do you have any wrappers or unopened on these?

calleocho

thanks a lot Bob!

very informative to see pics of these packs, you have a very nice collection.

is there a holy grail of packs?

I don't have a Topps supplemental collection that rivals Bob's, but I do have a 1968 hen's tooth, Kansas farm variation.

...Bob, keep it coming, the more you share details about your collection, the more impressed we become. On another post you mentioned that you've seen most of the supplemental issues listed or in person, correct?

So how many of each '66 Punchout, '67 Standup, and '68 Plak do you think exists? Most items tend to appear eventually, any guestimate what a Yaz in each of the aforementioned would fetch? I remember a '67 Standup Aaron selling for $2500 about two years ago.

bobsbbcards

Thanks Keith. I purposely started at 1955 because I am lacking the 1951 supplementals. If anyone else has packs of these to share, please post them.

--------------------------------------

calleocho,

Thank you too! Holy grail of packs in the Topps Supplementals would probably be the 1967 Topps Stand-Ups pack or the 1971 Topps Greatest Moments pack. As you can see from the 1967 section of this thread, Topps Vault sold an unfolded empty box of the '67s, and quite a few of the die cut examples in Sportscards Plus auction last year had wax stains on the backs. I have also seen a 1971 Greatest Moments unfolded empty box (I think it was also Topps Vault...I have a scan of that one at work). I have never heard of a 71 GM with wax stains though (anybody?)

I have seen packs of Topps Punchouts (and lots of wrappers). Unopened pack of Topps Plaks sold in Sportscards Plus auction for over five grand.

Andrew,

Wow, I have no idea. Helpful aren't I? I don't think that we will see a huge influx of these things into the hobby (despite the rumors of Keith Olbermann having gobs and gobs of stuff). With all of the great stuff that has come out in MastroNet, Lelands, etc. auctions in the last couple of years, it is striking that we have not seen any Punchouts, Punchboards, or Plaks. We have seen a few Dice Game cards, Test Discs (although not any '68s), and pretty many 67 Standups.

Bob

edited to add: forgot to price your Yaz examples. $20 for the punchout, $3 trillion for the Stand Up, and $15 for the Plak (you can guess which one I have)

Buccaneer

Very nice post, Bob, I too appreciate you taking the time to display them. I remembered a few of them when I started buying packs as a kid in 1970. What struck me when I viewed your packs is that I can still smell the gum.

67standup,

I think you meant '67 Topps Punchouts. Yaz is listed at $250 in NM condition in SCD's catalog. For what it's worth, Stargell is listed at $200 in NM and I picked up this one (obviously not in NM condition) for about $65.

Nice item Jeb. However, I did mean '66 Punchout (there's no Stargell, and set is not depicted in the Standard Card Catalog) This set is often confused with the '67 Punchboard, for which you show an impressive scan. I'd pay $250 in a heartbeat for a that '67 Yaz Punchboard.

Virtualizard

Interesting! Sorry for my lack of knowledge on the issue. I've never heard of or seen one. Do you have a scan of one? Is it the same design as the '67 Punchout?

JEB.

67standup

This is one of the few issues for which I've never seen a scan or listing. A pretty penny once it lists.

pandrews

ttt for some great scans..

Onlypsahockey

Awesome collection Bob!

Thanks for sharing.

bobsbbcards

Thought it might be time for this thread to resurface. I'll update it with Topps stuff from '77 through '91 as well as anything that I've managed to snag (or steal a scan of) from the earlier period. Feel free to add any scans of your own. Enjoy! First four are stolen scans.
