Description
Basil Wolverton Ugly Hang-Ups Unproduced Trading Card Uncut Press Proof (Topps, 1968). Designed as an 18-card set that would be packaged and sold like baseball cards, these collectible "ugly art" cards were intended to be given to other kids or hung up on the wall as mini-posters. A market survey found that they were actually too ugly, as children said their parents would likely not let them purchase the cards. This uncut press proof sheet measures 30" x 23", with each poster coming in at 9.5" x 18". The paper is toned, with a 2" rip in the bottom margin (not into the image area), and some light stains in the top margin. In Very Good condition. Comes with a signed COA from Topps. In this same sale, we are offering the original Wolverton art for each of these three cards!Auction Info
