They used to also come in cello packs, which I liked buying in 85 and 86.
Same, I don’t think I have the envelopes but still have a few of the cards from 84/85. Looking to get the entire run after finding the 83 set. At a LCS. I also think these would be great for autographs.
Those were the glossy all stars. These were the send in cards that you could collect the send in points to get these.
I was pretty sure 1983 was the first year for these. I remember you could order set 1, set 2, set 3 up to set 6. I'd always order 1 of each and then multiples of whatever 6 card set had the hottest players. Pete Rose at that time was the most sought after card as he was about to break the All Time hits record.
Sure enough I DID have those envolopes still. I can't believe I have had these for 30+ years. I found a bunch of 1983 Envolopes and there were 5 cards in each, not 6. Doing a little research, I found there were 8 sets of 5 cards each for a 40 card set. You could redeem a 5 card set for 25 runs/points according to Trading Card Database.
One of my favorite GU'd Pucketts in my collection!
Ah, Mike Kekich. He's the guy who traded wives with Fritz Peterson. What a legacy, that the only thing you're remembered for is that.
Very nice!! One of the great insert sets that Topps used to put out in the 60s and 70s. You played this game on the back of one of the poster inserts from the same 1971 set which had a football field on the back. A field marker was also inserted which served as the football that was moved up and down the field depending on what card you turned. Obviously Joe Namath was not a card you wanted to turn over as it was a five yard loss.
