Uncut sheets

Great thread. Here are a couple of my favorites.
69 Milton Bradley and a 1981 Topps Scratch-Off Proof

Sorry for the bad pic.

This are some incredible uncut sheets.

Ok Ok Ok...so those are great and all, but where are the 1986 Topps sheets?

Really cool sheets!

Where’s the football?

I was actually trying to find a 1958 Topps football uncut sheet with Jim Brown's rookie card, but there doesn't seem to be any.

I've been collecting photos of uncut sheets for over 20 years, if a topps sheet exists in the wild (1979 and older) i probably have a copy of it. Here's the 1958 sheet you were looking for. John

1982 Topps sheets A, B, and C scanned today.

The sheets that were also found as Blackless Variations.

@Bullseye45 You might be interested in this PM me for a high res copy.

Someone requested football.

There was a request for 1986 Topps.

I believe this is the only 1984 sheet that I have, although I do have 3 copies. This one is really the only one that matters as it has 23 HOFers, a bunch of other near HOFers and stars of the day, and of course, the 2 big rookies from 1984.

@countdouglas would you tell me what size toploaders are those? Thanks

The toploaders are 29 inches x 43 inches.

They are produced by several manufacturers. Many that I have are Ultra Pro, as that is the supply that my LCS has access to. As a favored customer, her sells them to me at cost. A second brand that I have a few of is BCW.

As recently as 2 years ago, I made a bulk purchase off of eBay for 2 boxes of 10, by another manufacturer (can't recall specifically, but I don't believe it was either of the aforementioned) for around $120 or so delivered, per box of 10. I doubt you can find them for anywhere close to that now. They can certainty be expensive individually. I haven't checked BCW in awhile for their bulk pricing with their usual discounts and free shipping after a certain purchase threshold.

All the brands seem to be of similar quality, so I have no recommendation there of one over the other. Hope that helps.

One other thing that I addressed in my previous thread, is that I hang them on the wall using 3M Command Strips that you can find at Wal-Mart, Target, hardware stores, etc. They are similar to Velcro strips, but made of plastic teeth. I measure and place the strips EXACTLY in the same location on the backs of each toploader, which makes for easy removal and switching out when I decide to change it up. If you decide to use the wall space for something else completely, the strips are easily removed from the wall with zero damage.

One more tip for anyone considering purchasing uncut sheets, and then displaying them in the toploaders. Get a couple of pieces of poster board or heavy construction paper. Cut both pieces to where they fit inside the toploader. Insert them back to back, leaving 1/4th to 1/5th of the cut pieces hanging out of the toploader. Then, thread your sheet between the 2 pieces and into the toploader. Once the sheet is inserted, remove the poster board. It makes for much easier insertion, as the sheets usually have a bit of curvature to them and the friction against the poster board is much, much less than if sliding against the plastic. They can be inserted without this trick, but once you do it this way, you'll wonder why you would ever want to.
