Please wander around the website for more info, prices, values & images
on vintage baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sport and non-sports cards.
1962 Topps Football Bucks
The 1962 Topps Football Bucks resembled U.S. currency and measured
1 1/4" x 4 1/4". But ... instead of Abe Lincoln staring at you,
it could be Fran Tarkenton !!!
Drawings of the player's home parks along with brief write-ups
appeared on the front. The backs included team and league logos.
Printing was done with black and green ink on off-white
(very thin) paper stock. Bucks are typically found with a fold crease
in the middle as they were inserted in packs in that manner.
The 1962 Topps Bucks were inserts in wax packs of the 1962 Topps regular
issue football cards. Player selection was super and the featured ROOKIES
of Fran Tarkenton and Mike Ditka !!! Also numerous other Hall-of-Famers
including JIM BROWN, BART STARR, Y.A. Tittle, Johnny Unitas, Lou Groza
and other greats !!!

1966 Topps Rub-Offs COMPLETE MASTER STRIP
20 different Rub-Offs with Sandy Koufax and 4 other Hall-of-Famers !

From the days when inserts were neat !!!
1966 Topps Rub-Offs have colorful, attractive pictures, which
by rubbing the reverse side with a coin (quarters worked best),
could be applied to surfaces like desks, books or walls.
YEAH - A great item for kids - a HUGE nightmare for parents and teachers !!!
In 1961 Topps issued a similar item called "Magic Rub-Offs".
There were 36 different in that set. Topps went way further with their
1966 issue of (120) rub-offs (100 players & 20 pennants).
The rub-offs were inserts, one per 1966 Topps wax pack.
The 2-1/6 inch by 3 inch rub-offs were printed in rolls
of 20 different.
Apparently some kids placed rub-offs of certain players on their bats
to help them hit like the player. I wish I would have known ...
I could have used the help.

(5) Hall-of-Famers: Sandy Koufax, Juan Marichal, Joe Morgan, Frank Robinson & Ron Santo
