The 1974 Topps Deckle Edge set remains one of the most scarce and intriguing issues of the modern era. Issued in very limited quantities around Massachussetts the cards comprised a 72-card set that were larger (2 7/8 x 5") and on heavier stock than the Deckle Edge set of 1969 but featuring a similar black-and-white photo with facsimile signature on the front. Backs can be found with white or gray stock (the white stock somewhat more scarce) featuring a "news clip" about the player with some "handwritten" info about the photo and when it was taken.The Standard Catalog makes reference to "proof versions with straight edges and gray or what backs" being known. We"re proud to have a large group of them featured in this auction including a good number of Hall of Famers. Frank Robinson one of the game"s greatest all-time players is represented here with the scarcer white back proof in what is currently the only copy to have been graded by either PSA or SGC. A proof card from the 1974 Topps Deckle set is very difficult to find. A white-backed card from the set is also very scarce. A white-backed 1974 Topps Deckle proof of a Hall of Famer is a very very scarce card one of several that we are proud to offer in this auction.
