Paul_Maul Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Technically it is a half sheet, but the full double sheets are almost never found intact for some reason. Almost all uncut sheets that survived are like yours, so they are not usually called half sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_Maul Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) I found this image on the web suggesting that the later series was a 12x11 half sheet on each side rather than 7x11. This makes sense since the same is true of the later wacky series 14,15 and 16 which were all published in mid 1975 or 1976. Sheet images are cool also because you can easily identify the double prints in a set like this.

Paul_Maul Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) The top guy on the PSA Set Registry for the 1975 set (every card in PSA 10 Gem Mint!) has some interesting info on his page.

wormboy Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 It’s a really fun show! Comics only. Marc and I started it because we were tired of “Comic Shows” with hardly any comics Feels like the old comic swap meets. Next one is coming right up Nov. 4. We’d love to see you there.

Paul_Maul Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Here's some pretty obscure info about this set...I believe these are the actual printing orders Topps gave to the Zabel Bros. print shop ordering production of the stickers.

Yes, I think that's what it means. Although I guess it's always possible that there was more than one production order. wormboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonzilla Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Zabel Brothers was the printer for Bowman baseball cards in the late 40's - early 50's and then for Topps. It's a vacant lot now deep in the Philly badlands so there's no warehouse to raid for test proofs. Damn shame Paul_Maul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Devourer Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 There's an uncut sheet available on Ebay: https://m.ebay.com/itm/1975-Topps-Wanted-Poster-Stickers-Uncut-Sheet-Comic-Marvel-Superheroes-Die-Cut/163093116986?hash=item25f91b783a:g:pK0AAOSwEupZhgwG I'm based in Australia, but I distinctly remember another set. I saw Hawkeye and Iron Man - the images were much sharper with richer colours and a white background. There were also no captions. I'd be interested in owning that set.

Actually, that’s not a sheet of the Marvel Stickers, but a sheet of the “Wanted” poster cards that used the wrong die cut (that of the Marvel stickers). Still pretty cool though. Not sure which Australian stickers you’re referring to, but I’d love to see a pic if you find one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
