Lot # 3348: 1971 Milk Duds Full Box Partial Set (55/72) Plus 13 Duplicates

Presented is a partial set (55 out of 72) of 1971 Milk Duds offered in complete-box form. Missing the following 17 cards for completion: Banks, Beckert, Carty, Clemente, Hundley, Hunter, 4b Killebrew, McCovey, Merritt, Munson, Perez, J. Perry, 18c B. Robinson, 2c Rose, Sanguillen, Santo, and Tovar. Includes 13 duplicates (Bench, Brock, Davis, Howard, John, A. Johnson, 24b Killebrew, Osteen, Petrocelli, Powell, 23c B. Robinson, Seaver, and White). This popular series includes numerous Hall of Famers and stars, three of which were double-printed (Killebrew, B. Robinson, and Rose). Milk Duds, the popular chocolate candy, featured cards on the back panel of the boxes in 1971 that were designed to be hand-cut by youngsters. It is the method of issue along with the hand-cut nature that often makes cards from this series appear in lesser condition than found here. There is, as is to be expected, minor wrinkling on the non-card areas of most boxes. Forty-two of the card areas grade Nr/Mt to Nr/Mt-Mt and 26 grade lesser (including Aaron, one of the Benches, one of the Brocks, Gibson, Jenkins, Mays, Palmer, Perry, one of the Brooks Robinsons, and one of the Seavers) due to wrinkles or minor flaws in the card area. The location of the box folds varies, including some very close to the card border lines. This is a very attractive mid- to high-grade collection of complete boxes from this popular 1970s food issue. Total: 68 boxes (partial set of 55 plus 13 duplicates).
