HISTORY: The 1967 Topps Giant Stand Ups Baseball cards were an uncirculated test issue by Topps, thus making these cards extremely extremely rare and unbelievably expensive. It is stated that there are less than a hundred '67 Giant Stand-Ups in the entire collecting world. Only at a rare auction is where you might be lucky enough to find a single piece from this set for sale. For example, remote auctions have brought in 12 (out of 24) of the test cards for a mere $41,000! A single wrapper sold for $2500. And the box.... Oh the box..... there is only one known to exist on the planet and a price cannot be put upon it. "ONE . . . KNOWN .... BOX."

The test issue cards, a whopping 3 1/8" x 5 1/4", were printed on heavy card stock and die-cutted so that the player's heads could be punched out of their black backgrounds and stood in the small bases which were also punched out of the card. There was also a proof version of the 24 players, which doesn't have the die cuts .These generally sell for a little less than their brothers, but if you find one, plan on spending a portion of your child's college fund to own it.  Also unique to this set was the instruction sheet which was, in reality, a sticker that would be used to seal the flaps on the back of the 2 card wax packs. 

The 24 card set includes:

Jim Lonborg, Ron Swoboda, Harmon Killebrew, Roberto Clemente, Don Drysdale, Dean Chance, Orlando Cepeda, Tim McCarver Rusty Staub, Richie Allen, Catfish Hunter, Jim Wynn, Pete Rose, Mickey Mantle, Al Kaline, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Carl Yastrzemski, Frank Robinson, Ron Santo, Gary Peters, Max Alvis, Jim Fregosi, Frank Howard.

What you will receive with this complete set is:

A) a beautiful reproduction of the box. Printed on satin paper backed by poster-board it is rather exceptional 10.75" x 6.75" x 1.5" in size. The colors are pure and radiant. A large Mickey Mantle on the top lid, and several images of a cartooned boy proudly displaying his assembled collection of Stand Ups on his dresser and shelves. The box is meant to hold all 24 stand ups.

B) You will get a full set of 24 cards, printed on satin paper backed by a thick chipboard. You will have your choice of the Die cut versions or the proof set without the die cuts. PLEASE NOTE: the die-cutted card set has the lines for the cuts imprinted on the cards. Creative Pal adds: "I myself have not made the actual die cuts as I would need to do them by hand, and quite honestly I'll be a candidate for arthritis in the distant future, and I would like to keep that process at bay for as long as I can. You may wish to make the cuts yourself and I leave that up to you."

C) Finally, also included will be 12 reproduction wrappers and 12 stickers to seal the wrappers. Two cards will be included in each wrapper, but the wrappers will not be sealed so you may open the packs to view the cards, and then replace them in the box if this is how you choose to display them.

Creative Pal adds: "This reproduction set IS THE CROWN JEWEL in my efforts to bring back to life the most sought after gum card sets with their boxes and wrappers, and at a price that should not make grown men weep.  

FEEDBACK FROM OUR FIRST FEW CUSTOMERS

WOW!  I am a long-time Willie Mays collector and my collecting motto was to never buy "manufactured memorabilia" .  I had stuck to this mantra until I stumbled upon your website over the July 4th weekend.  I have been trying to obtain a Mays 1967 stand-up for many years and I was well aware of the impossibility of ever obtaining the box or wrappers.

Your reproduction is impeccable.  You should be very proud of your efforts.  Please allow me to be a reference for anyone that is lookingfor one.

I am blown away!  Many thanks!

Being an ardent baseball card collector for many years, I have been searching for any
'67 Stand Ups. I knew this to be a massively hopeless task, but I never gave up! To my utter amazement I accidently discovered this treasure hidden in an unlikely website.

Although this is a repo set , the quality looked so unbelievably real. I literally gasped with excitement as I order the box with the complete set of 24 cards plus the wrappers and stickers! Needless to say, my expectations were far exceeded; money very well spent. Thanks for the foresight and talent behind this.

Your Biggest Fan,

I dabble in studying the history of baseball. I love the game of baseball you might say. And one of the best ways to know this game, American's past time, is by studying the baseball cards that have been printed over the years.  It may amaze you but almost since the inception of Baseball in the 1860's, there have been cards of the players.

So I have seen a few cards you might say but when I acquired the Stand-Ups created by Creative Pal, of virtually a set never released to the public, these cards, the box and the wrappers looked so real I couldn't believe it was a reproduction. That a single artist has the skill and ability to make this set indistinguishable from a real one is amazing!

Great Job, Creative Pal, I hope you can make more special sets in the future and thank you ...
