1968 Bazooka + Panel (R414-51)

Number of Cards

1968 Bazooka has 56 cards with 4 Cub players.

Size of Cards

The size of the hand cut cards measure approximately 1 1/4" by 3 1/18"

Basic Features

This collection distinguishes itself from previous years of Bazooka cards due to its streamlined design. Unlike earlier iterations, these individual cards were not included in 3-card panels; instead, these unnumbered player cards were affixed to the sides of bubble gum boxes and were hand-cut. At the bottom of the box, a new series titled "Tipps from the Topps" was launched, featuring a rectangular panel that displayed a headshot of one player along with tips on how to play baseball. In total, there were 15 panels, with four players being printed twice, including Ron Santo, to complete the set of 15.
