Topps released several test sets in 1968 and these Action All Star Stickers never made it to most parts of the country. Comprised of three vertical panels, with a large central image of a single player's die-cut sticker in the middle and three smaller images, also die-cut, of assorted major leaguers at top and bottom, along with, oddly, some floating signatures, these were almost 16 inches in length when intact.  Striking in appearance, these would seem like a no-brain winning item but the test fizzled, leaving some scarce oddball stickers behind for collectors to eagerly scoop up on the limited occasions they run into them. The PSA 2 central panel of Roberto Clemente was somewhat roughly liberated from its middle position but is vibrant with tremendous eye appeal.  Clemente remains firmly attached to the backing, which has some scratching on the reverse side but remains free of the "glue ooze" that can affect these.
