1967 Topps Who Am I? Non-Sport Forum

Bottom Line Up Front:

Should the current checklist be deleted and a correct version uploaded or should we fix the current posting?

Background: The TCDB checklist for the "1967 Topps Who Am I?" set contains two Variations of each card. The versions are often refered to as either " With Disquise / Caption Back" OR "No Disguise / No Caption". 

The "With Disguise / Caption Back" version is a 44 card set released in 1967 and sold in 5¢ packs. The "No Disguise / No Caption" version is a 36-card reissue that was produced in 1968 and sold in "Fun Packs". 

The 36-cards that were reissued were produced on a 132 card sheet along with 44 cards from the 1958 Target Moon set and the 1964 Hot Rods set. It is believed that cards from this sheet were intended to be included in Topps' "Win A Card" game. However, the game sold poorly and was discontinued before these cards were included.

Topps then sold the cards in 1968 Fun Packs along with other unsold stock.

I published an earlier post about the 1958 Target Moon set and all members agreed that the two variations of the Target moon set should be listed seperately.

Should we do the same with this set? If so, what is the best approach since both variations are already listed in a combined checklist?

P.S. -  I'll be moving on to the Hot Rods set next. It is a little more difficult/confusing

Is the "Win A Card" game the Topps/Milton Bradley product that is listed here?

That's the one. Some collectors think that the 132 card sheet containing "Target Moon", "Hot Rods", and "Who Am I" was intended to be a second series of cards for that game. Here's an uncut half-sheet.

Here's the game. You can see the cards in the tray on the left.

The ones from the Fun Packs should be moved to the Fun Pack set. If there is no scans or collection info listed (forgive me, too busy to look) then it would be easier to delete them and start over with a new checklist. But a card that was released years later in a different product cannot EVER be a variaiton, it's not the same product. (In my other hobbies, we call something using the same designs but is different a reissue. In scale modeling, for instance, the same basic plastic has for some kits been getting new boxes for 50 years, and each time is a new reissue)

I wonder if the game was fun
