I only had a few 1969 Topps Decals, and those were only the unused kind. This little lot of 26 decals that I picked up from eBay were stuck onto cardboard and then cut out. I like that the cardboard makes them thicker like cards.
Most of these have similar photos to their base card counterparts, but a few are different. A few stars and minor hall of famers here.
You might notice there are a couple of dupes, one of each color Sox. So I have a Harrelson of Boston and Ward of Chicago available.
I hadn't been born yet when these came out, but if I had been born ten years earlier these would probably been up my alley (and I could see my childhood self cutting them out).
ReplyDeleteThose dupes might make some good Time Travel Trading fodder some day... ;)
ReplyDeleteI was 8 years old when these were in packs. I remember my dad wasn’t real happy about me transferring a few of the decals to the desk in my bedroom.
ReplyDeleteI can close my eyes and remember exactly how the Pete Rose and Tom Seaver decals looked. There was a third one, someone with a bat. I think it might have been Rusty Staub.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
