Here's a type of card that always gets a lot of attention at the toppsvault - an unpublished proof
of Steve Stone.
From Topps:
<< <i>1977 Topps Baseball Unpublished Proof Card! Steve Stone. Direct from the legendary Topps Vault comes this rather unusual proof card. The card issued in wax packs features a photo of this player in a White Sox uniform, not the Cubs uniform depicted in this card photo. Blank-backed proof measures the standard 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" and is in excellent condition. >>
With 4 days to go, it is already at 200 bucks! I recollect a rare card with Reggie in a different uni went for some very righteous coin. And BTW, when they say "excellent" condition, that can mean mint or less from my personal experience.

ps) Is Merkel a heavy hitter on the topps vault stuff? Seems to be.
<< <i>Is Merkel a heavy hitter on the topps vault stuff? Seems to be. >>
Yes - he is a heavy hitter, and has one of the more noted collection throughout the baseball hobby. He has the hobby's most extensive collection, I believe, of proofs, rare variations, etc. going back 100+ years. It's fun and all to drop some coin on an unissued 1977 Topps proof card - but it is a whole different animal to be dropping major coin on proof cards of HOF'ers from the T-206 set, for example. One and the same guy, nonetheless
<<proofs......going back a 100+ years...>> THAT is pretty strong stuff he's drinking.

<< <i>The estimate on the Reggie card is 5 to 20. I have never seen the Steve Stone proof. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out. >>
He has bought some similar unissued proofs (or different pictures, or whatever) from Toppsvault. I know that he got some 1968 Topps versions for a few hundred dollars last Fall
What are the ebay ID's of some of the guys we are talking about? Merkel and Keith e.g.
thanx
