Lot # 748: 1969 Topps Deckle Edge Test Uncut Sheet of (9) Cards with (8) Never Used Players!

The offered 1969 Topps Deckle Edge Test uncut sheet of nine cards was never publicly issued and features eight never used players! The brainchild of Topps Art Director Woody Gelman, this crisp nearly 7-5/8 x 11-1/2" black-and-white artifact was never cut and few have entered hobby circulation. The player section of the black facsimile autograph front surface is crease-free with only limited corner wear while the lightly toned reverse is clean with only limited fraying near the bottom right corner. Unless noted, each of the following players were never issued in the mainstream issue product: Top Row: Aguirre, Yastrzemski (released in set), Pizarro; Middle Row: S. Jackson, Woodeshick, B. Johnson; Bottom Row: Adlesh, Osteen and S. Alomar.
