1968 TOPPS GAME QUESTION

While sorting approx 200 of these yeterday, I found 15 cards that are printed on a pure white thicker card stock.
are these worth anymore than the regular cards?

    That's a good question - don't know.

    Guess?

    The cards came as "inserts" but they also came in "game" form - a boxed set. Perhaps a separate print run?

    I have seen the ones from the boxed set. They were very white compared to the ones inserted in packs but I don't remember if they were thicker.

    I still need to pick up this set to go along with my 68 set. Is there a premium for one version over the other?

    I have 3 sets of these. They were distributed as 1968 pack inserts and sold in boxed sets. There were two versions of the boxed sets. Two of my sets are boxed. All three sets have the same stock. Some of the cards in my binder non boxed set may vary in whiteness , likely due to age and handling. I do have a few "double print" cards :) , but they do not vary in thickness. But it might be fun to glue a couple of cards together and send to Bob. The 68 set was similar to the Topps 51 red and blue back game sets
