Comments: In February,
2000 I purchased a beautiful high-end rookie card of Harmon, a 1955
Topps PSA 8, from seller Dale Moody/Atlanta Sports Cards. I loved
the card. But in Feb, 2004 I decided to go with Newhouser to represent
the 1955 Topps issue and needed to find a new type card for Killebrew.
In November, 2007 I chose this 1969 Topps Decals issue and won this
PSA 10 on eBay. |

Description: |
Designed as an insert for 1969 regular issue card packs, these decals are virtually identical in format to the '69 cards. The 48 decals in the set measure 1" X 2-1/2", although they are mounted on white paper backing, which measures 1-3/4" X 2-1/8". In March, 2001 a hoard consisting of two original 10,000-piece rolls - 833 each of half the players in the set - was sold at auction. |
