November 19, 2020: Fall Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/19/2020
The 1971 Topps Winner baseball cards were part of a Topps Baseball Card Contest. To enter the contest you had to fill out an entry blank provided by the storekeeper. After filling out the entry blank with the information as seen on the back of the card - Favorite teams, Players, Hobbies etc.. - the form was to be mailed into Topps with a photo of your kid. Twenty-five grand prize winners got their pictures on a "Real Baseball Card" and 1,000 contestants received a full color Major League card poster. The short print cards were inserted into a very limited number of 1972 Baseball card packs. The 25 winners each received one sealed box of 1972 Topps Baseball cards, with each wax pack having the winners card inserted into it. They also received 1,000 additional cards of themselves, to hand out to friends and family. Only 19 of the announced 25 winners are known to exist, with this auction offering 14 of the 19 known cards. This is the only one of this single that PSA has ever graded according to its population report.
