Description

1968 Topps Baseball Cartoon Sketches & Original Art Collection (200+) with Associated Cards. For years, on the back of their cards Topps would include trivia questions about baseball or the player being featured along with a small little cartoon. Some kids ignored them, some loved them. Once they served their purpose it would have been too easy to just discard the original art even though they are a certified part of Topps history. That is what makes this collection so incredible. From the 1968 Topps series we offer a whopping 200+ pieces of original pencil sketches and final art. Overall, there are 79 pencil sketches rendered 2, 3, or 4-up on paper. There are also 133 pieces or fully inked original art used for cards including #'s 205 Marichal, 215 Bunning, 220 Killebrew, 230 Rose (reprint card), 235 Santo, 250 Yastrzemski, 257 Niekro, 280 Mantle (Heritage card), 290 McCovey, 310 Aparicio, 330 Maris, 350 Wilhelm, 355 Banks, plus many others. Art is rendered five-up on 10-1/2" x 14-1/2" paper. In addition to the art, each comes with an example of the card from 1968. See our website for a detailed list of card numbers.
