BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! 1977 Topps Cloth Stickers Baseball Card Collection Lot of 60-80 Vintage MLB
This auction features a substantial collection of approximately 60 to 80 vintage 1977 Topps Cloth Stickers. This set was a specialized test issue released by Topps in the late 1970s, featuring a unique textile surface and a peelable adhesive backing. Each sticker is defined by a characteristic dashed border outline. The lot contains a diverse array of Major League Baseball players from the era, with several notable All-Stars and team leaders identified. Key players visible in the collection include Amos Otis (Kansas City Royals), Jose Cruz (Houston Astros), Dave Concepcion (Cincinnati Reds), Doug DeCinces (Baltimore Orioles), Doug Bair (Cincinnati Reds), John Stearns (New York Mets), and Dave Freisleben (San Diego Padres). These stickers are highly regarded among vintage collectors as a premier oddball set of the decade.
Condition report:
The collection is in raw, ungraded condition. The characteristic cloth texture remains well-preserved across the lot. Many stickers exhibit minor fraying along the edges, which is a common and expected trait for this specific cloth-based issue. Corner condition ranges from sharp to slightly softened or rounded. Centering is variable, with several examples showing off-center alignment relative to the dashed border guidelines. Minor natural age-related toning or yellowing is visible on the white border areas of some stickers. Based on visual inspection of the stacks, the stickers appear to be unpeeled with their original backings intact.
