1968 Topps Action All-Star Stickers
Baseball Cards Set checklist/info

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.

Topps 1968 "Baseball Action Stickers" consisted of (16) 3-part sticker panel strips containing removable, die-cut stickers. They were PACKED !!! Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Seaver, Yastrzemski ... There are (16) different three-panel stickers in the set but only 12 contain totally different panels. Stickers #13 thru #16 re-used panels from the first 12 strips.

Each (15 3/4" by 3 1/4") strip had (3) 3-1/4 x 5-1/4 inch panels, perforated at the joints for separation. Each strip featured a large image of a star player in the center, with smaller pictures of three players on top & bottom panels. The large sticker and some of the others had facsimile autographs The peel-able back was blank-backed. The strip was folded along 2 perforations and placed in it's pack.

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.

Complete strips with the 3-panels still attached are so scarce and fragile AND EXPENSIVE that collectors usually collect individual panels and the grading companies including PSA grade the individual panels. 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 !

Proof sheets, usually from Topps Vault, have shown up. This sheet is missing the facsimile autographs.

Baseball card collecting terms (part B)

Bazooka Bazooka Bubble Gum put baseball cards on the back of their boxes from 1959 thru 1971. Complete boxes and panels can get extremely costly. Most kids back then could not afford complete boxes of bubble gum at one making Bazooka cards quite scarce. I actually don't recall ever obtaining a Bazooka card directly from a box as a kid. Do you ???

Black Sox Scandal Name given to the the most famous scandal in baseball history after the 1919 Chicago White Sox versus the Cincinatti Reds World Series when 8 White Sox players were accused of throwing the series. Details have remained somewhat unclear. The players were acquitted of criminal charges but 8 players still received a lifetime ban from professional baseball including the All-Time great "Shoeless" Joe Jackson.

Blank-Back a card in which nothing is printed on the back. These cards are usually not in packs and are either "PROOF ISSUES" or were removed from the factory in some way.

Blanket a term used for collectibles in the 1910's made of fabric .

Border is the part of the card that surrounds the photo or image.

Bowman was a card manufacturer in the 1940's and 1950's that was bought out by Topps. In 1989 Topps started issuing cards using the Bowman brand.

Break a term used to indicate the opening of a set, pack, box or case.

Break Value is the total book value of each card added up individually. The break value of a set is usually way, way more than the value of the complete set.
