Description
C-20066
c. 1990s; Topps Chewing Gum Company – Brooklyn, NY
Large-format uncut printing sheets featuring full runs of basketball trading cards in their original production layout. Each sheet presents a dense grid of player cards with vibrant action photography, rookie callouts, and period typography, alongside visible color bars and registration marks along the margins—clear indicators of their origin as printer proofs or factory sheets prior to cutting. Notable players and teams from the era appear throughout, with repeating card sequences and stat panels visible on the reverse sides where shown. The sheets retain their full factory dimensions, offering a rare look into the manufacturing side of sports card production rather than the finished, trimmed product.
Shows light to moderate wear including edge curling from storage, small rips, minor creasing, and handling marks. Color remains strong overall with no major tears observed; stored rolled as shown.
~28” W x 42” H each
