Original 1968 Topps uncut final production sheet from the first series of this popular set, containing a total of 110 cards arranged in eleven rows of ten cards. Twenty-five Hall of Famers are featured on the sheet, including: Willie Mays, Tom Seaver, Rod Carew, Bob Gibson, Don Sutton, Gaylord Perry, Joe Torre, Willie Stargell, Brooks Robinson, Eddie Mathews, Billy Williams, AL HR Ldrs (Yastrzemski, Killebrew, and F. Robinson), and NL HR Ldrs (Cepeda, Clemente, and Aaron). Technically the sheet is in Poor condition due to various flaws, including heavy creasing, rippling throughout, a number of edge tears (including a large tear at the top), and two small puncture holes. If framed on a wall, the sheet would have tremendous display value and an overall impressive appearance. Despite the obvious flaws, the offered sheet would still make a tremendous companion piece to any 1968 Topps complete set or a worthy addition to any advanced uncut-sheet collection. Dimensions: approximately 27.5 x 34.75 inches. Please note: This sheet has been stored rolled for many years and will be shipped as such. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Opening Bid $200.
