1974 Topps Stamp Team Booklet

Yes! Today I received this stamp booklet. I've had this on my ebay saved searches for over three years and finally someone posted one. Though Topps released team stamp booklets in previous years for some reason they only ran these booklets in 1974 on a test run and very few hit the open market. This is the only one I've seen to date and it is unused with no stamps stuck inside! I'm bummed that it was miscut at the top but you can't be too picky with pieces this rare. :)

Purchased on ebay from zartanthegreat1 on 7/10/2011.

Introduction

I began collecting baseball cards in 1987 when I was 11 years old. After little league games we would receive a raffle ticket which we could use at the field snack bar and I began choosing to use mine on a pack of baseball cards. I stopped collecting in 1992 when the popularity of cards exploded. I moved my interests to music. I picked up collecting again as an adult in 2002. When I started back up I made the decision to create an area of focus for my collection. I am a HUGE Dodgers fan so I decided that I would collect every Dodgers Topps card from 1995 (the year I graduated H.S.) and earlier. I chose to stick with just Topps because that's what I collected when I was younger. Over time that focus has held to form with a couple exceptions. At some point I began to include odd-ball food cards (and discs) to my collection and also decided that I would collect any cards that were vintage (prior to 1965). I don't spend too much time looking for them but if they cross my path I certainly will not pass at the opportunity to snatch them up! Hope you enjoy following me on the journey to completing my collection!
