Does anyone here collect uncut sheets? (pics of them especially welcome)

The neat thing about uncut sheets is that they're so much rarer than the cards themselves (especially if they didn't "offically release" them, like 1987 Topps was) and make interesting wall decorations; the two 1975 Topps uncut sheets I saw on Ebay were very nice. The problem is that most people (like myself) have no way of displaying/storing them properly (as you know, custom frame jobs don't come cheap). Though I do hope someday to try to get those team checklist uncut sheets Topps did from 1975-82.

I'll try and post some of the others in the next week. I really like them for a variety of reasons- scarcity, eye appeal, and they help give an idea as to why some cards are condition rarities.

Frankly, everytime I see a vintage uncut sheet (especially a full one), I just can't believe such a thing existing on the open market would be possible. Since you'd basically have to be an employee and literally sneak one out the factory w/o getting caught for the sheet to even exist on the open market in most cases, right?

I don't collect them - but have some.
I have a 76T full sheet and a 83T half sheet with Ryno RC - they're wall mounted - so they eat up a lot of space - that's my problem since I don't have tons of wall space.

'41 Playball's were issued on regular cardboard stock. At some point (probably after) the first 24 cards were issued on paper stock, and printed in 2 press runs- cards 1-12 on one sheet, 13-24 on the other. The second one is the most desireable, due to the presence of Ted Williams as well as Greenberg, Cronin, and Ruffing. Mine is the less desireable lower number sheet, but I still like it a lot. It cost just over $400. on ebay a couple of years ago.

<< <i>Um, I don't want to sound like I'm asking a stupid question, but how is that sheet (the one with all 1989 Fleer Bill Ripkens) possible? You know, only that card on a sheet? That's not how they usually make card sheets. No wonder that black box version only books for a dime. >>
I'm wondering maybe they made all those of one card to get them to replace the obscene one?
One day, I'll grab a cheap set on eBay, just to hang in the den. :-)

Unsure how they made it but they did, and yes to replace the FF that was pulled. The BBox was DP and some price guides note that. (At least I have seen some that do/did)
I have been wanting this pic. It will aid me when I notify sellers of these. Awesome.
I picked up this panel of 12 uncut 1961s a
while back, to go with the '61 set I'm putting
together.
I've never seen any other '61s uncut, but
I'm sure there are some out there.
Cool '62s you have there Griffins!!

great thread!!!!
ok heres the question i recently saw a sheet with an acrylic holder for big sheets like a toploader.
anyone know where i could find one?
thanks
All 132 Black Box. The Black Box was rumored to be the last version made when they damaged the plates enough from scratching them (Black Scribble).
Unsure why they would make a full BBox sheet, unless it was to replace all the saw cut cards they pulled from packout and I can believe this as I have gotten mixed versions in cases so I assume they printed in bulk and cut/packed as needed and had many FF sheets laying around thru the run and inserted the BBox as needed. Though I have yet to get a BBox that was out of place from the 2 collation patterns I have noticed in rack. Unsure on wax or cello or they could of been used for the factory sets as it's assumed those all have BBox. I just dont know.
ebay i.d. clydecoolidge - Lots of vintage stars and HOFers, raw, condition fully disclosed.

I use them for concert posters. Ultra Pro makes them, though I've never seen them larger than 18x24. Here's some that are on ebay now:

One caveat - they're not acid free/archival, so I wouldn't recommend them for long-term storage unless the item is sleeved in mylar first.

Obviously not for everyone in terms of affordablity (or lack thereof) but I like how not only does the sheet have the Mantle, but also has the complete Pete Rose puzzle back on the back of the eight All-Star cards. They also did this (had a eight card puzzle of a picture on the back of All-Star cards) in 1974 for Bobby Bonds as well (not sure about the years in between).
Here's a 1979 Topps uncut sheet too
