1968 Topps Action All-Star Stickers
Another one of my favorite Topps test issues !!!
In 1968, trying to catch the fancy of young collectors, Topps issued a set of
"Baseball Action Stickers", also called "Action All-Stars Stickers".
1968 was a huge year for Topps with their test/oddball issues of
Game cards, Player Posters, 3-D cards, Plaks, Discs and Punchouts. |
Sold in 1-sticker packs in 1968 with 12 packs/box; at ten cents a pack, sets could be put together
for just $1.60. Today, if you could find them, a mid four figures or more would be needed to build a set.
Today a complete 3-panel sticker with Mantle in the center commands up to $2,000 alone. 
The single panels themselves are quite scarce and in the 23 years PSA has been
around they have graded just over 200 TOTAL, less than 9 per year !!!
The pop report is on the average of only 4 to 5 of each individual panel !!!
Compare that to PSA has graded over a thousand 1952 Topps Mickey Mantles !!!
Vintage Topps collectors understand supply and demand and just how cool
these are ! 
There are many different ways to protect, organize and store your sports cards.
Soft Sleeves also called "penny sleeves" are the most basic protection for your cards. Made of thin plastic, they come in packs of 100 and are very inexpensive.
Top Loads are rigid plastic holders and a step up in protection over "soft sleeves". Called top-loads because you place the card thru a thin opening at the top. They come in many sizes for regular cards upto 8-1/2 x 11 for magazines and even larger.
Screw-Down Acrylic Holders
These are sometimes used for better, more expensive cards. Small screws hold
two pieces of clear acrylic together. In a variety of sizes and thickness
that not only protect the card but can funciton as a paper weight or display
item.
There are also Single-Screw Screw-Downs that use only 1 screw to seal the holder. They are easier to use and provide the same type of protectionas regular screwdowns and they are also much less expensive costing as little as .30 in quantity while 1 inch or 2 inch acrylic screw-downs can cost upto several dollars.
