After publishing a pair of articles this month featuring vintage baseball dealer sell sheets, I was motivated to update the Unopened Archive with a few new ad sheets I’ve discovered, or folks have sent me the past few months. Here are three of my favorites:
First, Topps released this great piece for their 1962 baseball rack and cello products. Notice that it explains that the cello pack should have two full-color baseball stamp photos.
Next, from the 1962 Topps football set, is an ad sheet highlighting the football bucks that came in every 5-cent pack.
And finally, this super cool 1964 Topps football sell sheet that highlights pennant stickers.
In terms of hobby writing, I published eight new articles and made 16 archive additions here on PostWarCards.com. I also issued five Post War Cards Newsletters over on Substack. I’ve linked all the new material below.
