PLEASE READ THE ITEM DESCRIPTION COMPLETELY - AND CAREFULLY - BEFORE BUYING OR BIDDING ON THIS ITEM. I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS YOU ARE CONSIDERING FOR PURCHASE AND I WANT YOU TO HAVE A POSITIVE BUYING EXPERIENCE. you are bidding on a COMPLETE 10 STAMP 1974 TOPPS "TEST ISSUE" CHICAGO CUBS TEAM SET. ALL 24 TEAMS FROM THE ERA HAD 10 PLAYERS INCLUDED IN THE 240 STAMP SET. THIS SET IS/WAS A POORLY CUT ISSUE. NONE OF THE PANELS WERE CUT AT THE PERFORATIONS, MOST SIDES ARE CUT ...INSIDE THE PERFORATIONS. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THIS SPECIFIC SET - IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION RUN. I ENCOURAGE YOU YOU TO CHECK EBAY AND OTHER ON-LINE RESOURCES TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE. YOU WILL FIND THAT ALL STAMPS & PANELS OFFERED FOR SALE ARE "MISCUT" TO VARYING DEGREES. COLLECTOR CHAT ON VAROIUS ON-LINE VENUES ALSO NOTES THE PROBLEMS WITH THE CUTTING PROCESS. AS AN EXAMPLE IT IS CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A JOHNNY BENCH WITH 4 PERFORATED SIDES. A RECENT EXAMPLE WOULD BE EBAY ITEM 140910661717 - A JOHNNY BENCH WITH NO PERFORATION ON THE LEFT BORDER AND ONLY A PARTIAL PERFORATION ON THE BOTTOM BORDER - GRADED PSA 9 - SOLD AT $106! BORDER ISSUES ASIDE, THIS TEAM SET IS PRETTY STRONG CONDITION. EACH INDIVIDUAL STAMP MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 1" X 1 1/2". MOST OF THE STAMPS ARE AS CLEAN AS THE DAY THEY WERE ISSUED - NO CREASES AND THE GUM ON THE BACK STILL SHINY AND READY TO LICK! (HOWEVER, I DOUBT YOU WILL BE LOOKING TO LICK THEM.) PLEASE SEE THE SCAN PROVIDED - IT IS A REPRESENTATIVE EXAMPLE OF THE SET YOU WILL RECEIVE.
