The fronts of the 1974 All-Star Cards look like this:
…and I intentionally picked out this card with no Hall-Of-Famers as the one which is probably least represented in the blogosphere…
The All-Star Catchers card has the box score for the game on the back, but the other 8 cards have a piece of a puzzle which shows Bobby Bonds, the MVP of he 1973 All-Star Game. I thought it’d be fun to put the whole thing together, so here you go…
It’d be interesting to see an uncut sheet which had this on the back. Unfortunately, most images of uncut sheets feature the front, not the back.
Topps had put these “puzzles” on the backs of cards before, but I think this may be the last instance of such a thing; I don’t remember anything like this from a later set.
Thanks for posting this – I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of the Topps card-back puzzles assembled before.
No problem… It was a spur of the moment thing when I was scanning cards. I’ll tell you, lining them all up for scanning when you can’t see what you’re trying to line up was harder than I thought it would be.
