Each "All-Star" insert was individually packaged in a wax pack and folded to fit within the packaging. Every poster features a vibrant, full-color image of the player, with a circle in the lower left corner displaying his name (in red), team, position, and card number, accompanied by a blue facsimile signature in the lower right corner. The inclusion of some iconic ballparks as a backdrop enhances the appeal of this insert, making it a fantastic set to collect.

As you can observe, the 67 wax packs from series one did not reference the pin-ups; however, in series two, they included it on the front. Additionally, some of the back advertising varied throughout the seven series. Below are a couple of examples.

1967 Topps Test Discs (R-414-unc)

1967 was a fascinating year for both the Cubs and Topps. The Cubs were assembling a strong team that would endure into the early 70s. Meanwhile, Topps released several test issues this year that were not distributed to the public, making them rare collectibles that are now worth a significant amount of money.

Number of Cards

ToppsTest Discs has 44 disks which there is 1 Cub player.

Size of Cards

The size of the disks are 2-1/4" in diameter

Basic Features

This is an exceptionally rare collection that was intended to be made into a pin-back button, which unfortunately never occurred. The items are printed on silver foil with a blank back, measuring around 2-3/8" square. Each piece features a 2-1/4" diameter center showcasing a colorful portrait of the player, with their name and position printed in black across the chest, while the team name is displayed to the left and right of the player's image. Initially, it was a complete set of 24, but over the years, they have been divided into individual pieces. Crafted in Japan, this could be the rarest Santo item. If you have one, make sure to keep it safe.

Size of Cards

The size of the Punch-Outs are 2 1/2" x 4 2/3"

Basic Features

The 1967 Topps Punch-Outs Set is considered one of the rarer Topps collections, primarily due to its limited initial distribution in the Maryland region. These cards were designed to be utilized in a game by punching out the small squares, with each card showcasing a Team Captain along with 9 players. They were packaged in cello packs that contained two three-card panels (totaling six cards per pack), with the cards perforated for easy separation. The uncut panel measures approximately 2-1/2 x 14-1/8 inches. The back of the cards provides instructions on how to play a baseball game by punching out the small squares. The black Punch-Outs represent the National League, while the red ones signify the American League. There are two or more cards for each captain, along with numerous combinations of the 9 players, making this set potentially vast with all the different combinations.

1916 Standard Biscuit (D350-1)

Number of Cards

1916 Standard Biscuit set consists of 200 cards, including 22 players from the Cubs.

Size of Cards

The cards measure 1-5/8” x 3”

Basic Features

Released by the Standard Biscuit Company based in San Francisco, every card in this regional set showcases a black-and-white image of a player framed by a white border. At the bottom of the card, printed within the border, are the player's name, position, team name, and card number. On the back, there is a Standard Biscuit advertisement stating: "You will find a photograph of a member of the American or National League in every 5 and 10 cent package of our products." The simplest method to identify this set is through the reverse advertisement, which all cards featured. Numerous sets utilized identical images but had different backs. In addition to the various advertising backs mentioned above, these cards are often found with blank backs as well.

Some collectors in the sports community claim that this set includes the Babe Ruth rookie card, but I believe there was a 1914 set featuring his card. However, I could be mistaken, perhaps.
