1973 Topps Candy Lids

Description

1973 Topps Candy Lids is a 55 "card" test set. It consists of 55 portraits of baseball players printed on the bottom of candy lids -- which measure 1 7/8" in diameter. One lid was included in each pack of Topps' "Baseball Stars Bubble Gum" which consisted of a small tub of candy-coated gum kernels. The lids are unnumbered and each has a small "pull" tab.

It is believed that this set was mainly tested on the East Coast with some light testing in the Midwest.
