Item Description
8.5x11" one-sided glossy paper sheet w/ring binder holes on left margin. These sheets were issued on a monthly basis to promote current products to store owners. This particular sheet is historically significant as it not only promotes the first Topps issue to feature baseball cards (predating their first official BB issue, the 1951 blue/red backs) but it is also the first gum card issue of any kind by the company. Topps also issued another card series under this name in 1956, but this is for the original issue from 1948-49 (ACC# R714-27). Photos shows an open display box along w/example cards, developing paper and gum. In a previous auction we offered the Nov. 1948 sheet that featured a totally different image of this card issue. The series had many different subsets including a vast array of sports stars for: boxing, baseball, football, track and field, as well as movie stars, inventors, military leaders, etc. Text about the series appears on the bottom of the sheet along w/pricing info. 1" margin tear at lower right. Other lt. handling wear/aging w/a few small moisture spots and center crease. Fine. Historic promo piece.
