1968 Topps Test Plaks (PX204)
Plaks showcased 24 athletes displayed on a plastic sheet, with three player busts that could be carefully detached and positioned in a dedicated stand to highlight each player. These collectible busts came alongside checklist cards measuring 2-1/8" by 4", with one included in every pack, featuring a detailed close-up photograph of each player's face along with his name and card number printed below. Although the checklists from this highly sought-after "All Star Baseball Plaks" series remain fairly easy for collectors to obtain, they typically show visible signs of wear. The reverse side of each item in this collection features numbers.

1968 Topps Test Discs (R414-50-G)
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.| Player |

Furthermore, a 1968 Topps Baseball Discs experimental set was produced, and I'll showcase it next to the other collection so you can easily tell them apart.
