I posted my 1957 Topps football set tonight, and this set makes mine look disgusting. Cards like this is EXACTLY what the hobby should be about. Awesome stuff!!!

A couple questions... Why all the card numbers that say, Not Part of Set, and what's with the fake?

Beckett does not see 8 of them as part of the set because they are so scarce. Like the Honus Wagner in poor condition it will still bring 8 figures and their is something like 52 of them know to exsist. Plank is another on and in excellent condition it will fetch higher than 50gs. and some others are even scarcer.

For the fake I looked at it long and hard on both of them For the Maggie error it os on the wrong stock. and the Polar Bear on the back should be bold and black but in this case it is very faded. another way to look at the maggie is the portrait should be smooth in collor but the fake is very distict and when looking under a magnifing glass they are circles present which is not possible in that day of age.
I got the fake in the large collection and I will never be able to afford a real one so I put it in there just to coverup the bare spot. I really didnt want to go with a reprint for it wouldnt look right. Putting reprints with the set. But then again a fake doesnt look good either.

Glad to see you around
