The 1968 Topps Baseball design draws attention away from the photography, utilizing a speckled, dot-matrix frame that actually fills a large amount of the card. A white and black border with rounded corners highlights the depicted player image and the player's name is listed at the bottom of the card. Finally, an off-set colored circle on the lower right-hand corner houses the player's fielding position and team name. Offered are 24 Topps baseball 1st series wax packs from 1968 grading between NM 7 and Gem Mint 9.5. Also included is the empty Wax Pack Box grading a NM 7. Possible stars/HoFers include a dozen different League Leaders, Robinson, McLain, Seaver, Mays, Mathews, Carew, Stargell, and Gibson.
