1962 Baseball Bucks

Can anyone help me out with info on this issue?

These have recently gotten tougher to find and the prices have risen also. I beleive they were inserts in wax packs and because of the thin paper they don't seem to have been very easy to cut, as the centering seems to be bad almost all of the time.

96 "bucks" in the set, each measuring 4 1/8 X 1 3/4. Issued in thier own 1 cent package. Poorly centered bucks are very common. 62 players are $1 bills, 24 $5 stars and 10 $10 superstars.

All bucks have a fold line vertically down the middle-thats the way they were packaged.As stated above,bad centering is common with this issue.

The nicest known example in existence of all graded. It's the only 9, and there has never been a 10 (and probably never will be). The centering is off on 99% of them, many are miscut, nearly every example has at least the slightest tilt. If you can find nicely centered ones that have not been trimmed, you've struck gold.

Josh,
Does the Colavito buck have a fold line? Looks great slabbed (doesn't look like it floats around as much as some odd-sized issues).

I found about 60 of them, and I'm going to check them out when I get home tomorrow. From what I remember when I saw them last weekend, I thought they looked good. I dont recollect the centering.

Yeah, it has the fold line. I've never seen one that doesn't. The fold line is not factored into the grade unless it's really worn I think.
I bang the holders around to get the floating cards centered in the holder. They look much better that way.
