The...Not sure why an image would be limited to wax. The commonly seen 1967 cello triple packaging displays the same sort of player image as the 1967 wax. Do you have a picture of the wax? It’s a yellow wrapper and the name is obscured. The image may resemble Mantle, but it could also resemble somebody of lesser value.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27257197959732447.post-76068392473469405802009-06-06T14:24:07.538-04:002009-06-06T14:24:07.538-04:00Hmmm...I would agree if it was a cello that 6 is p...Hmmm...I would agree if it was a cello that 6 is possible. Actually, if Rob Lifson had seen a wrapper with an image on it, it would have been a wax wrapper I would guess. I can't see 6 in a wax pack though.toppcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698182920578539949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27257197959732447.post-4199907549004734742009-06-06T12:58:49.448-04:002009-06-06T12:58:49.448-04:00I based my guess of 6 full 2 card panels per pack ...I based my guess of 6 full 2 card panels per pack on facts we know. The 67 cellos were priced at 10 cents and contained 6 cards the same size as the 66 two card panels. The price on the 66 box is also 10 cents, so assuming Topps gave you the same amount of cardboard for your 10 cents, the pack would have contained 6 full 2 card panels. The wax version of the 67 issue was priced at 5 cents and based on the size and notes I can make out in the picture of the box I am pretty sure it contained 24 packs. This puts 72 panels in the box. I don't know what kind of pack the 66 box contained, wax or cello, but the pack was priced at 10 cents and the box contained 12 packs. Logic would put 72 panels the same size as the 67 cards in the box, so the 12 packs would have contained 6 full size panels.<br />The 66 box is large enough to contain 3 stacks of 4 wax packs side by side, or 2 stacks of 6 1967 cello style strips of two packaged front and back. A wax pack containing 6 thick cards is as unusual as how the 3 panel 1967 cellos were packaged.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27257197959732447.post-23973457173404611502009-06-06T11:28:28.156-04:002009-06-06T11:28:28.156-04:00I would lean toward 3 full cards per pack, 6 seems...I would lean toward 3 full cards per pack, 6 seems way too thick.toppcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698182920578539949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27257197959732447.post-35249166235831667492009-06-05T12:24:52.661-04:002009-06-05T12:24:52.661-04:00The 67 triple panel cellos came 6 individual cards...The 67 triple panel cellos came 6 individual cards to a pack. The 66 box you have pictured states that it's a 12 count box, 10 cents per pack. Assuming that both the 66 and 67 were priced at the same 6 cards for 10 cents, then the 66 box would have contained 72 cards. The 66 box is not large enough to hold packs containing two 3 card strips. The 12 packs might have contained three 2 card panels, or one thick pack containing 6 cards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27257197959732447.post-16165389037130258532009-06-04T10:47:48.065-04:002009-06-04T10:47:48.065-04:00Top notch work, sir!

Your craziness is showing, but excellent nonetheless.<br /><br />I could see this kind of set working in a modern context, what with Topps' new computer-recognized cards. You could pick a lineup (all-star, team, etc.), get it recognized by the PC, and play out a Cadaco-style game. Maybe even right in the browser!Matthew Gliddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05309027783505563943noreply@blogger.com
