1984 topps sticker test strip issue

[WaxPax]

Came across a test panel of 10 stickers including the 1984 Mattingly "RC" sticker from this issue. I'm trying to get an idea of how tough these panels are to find. Any thoughts ?

Thanks,

-Steve

Rance Mulliniks! That alone makes it priceless!
Sorry, I have no idea about this, but it is pretty sweet for sure!

Is it different that this one (other than being an uncut sheet)?

It is the same except the auction shows 4 different panels not one all together. The thing is, I've done an eBay keyword search of every possible combination of words, have not come up with any test strips from that year of any player. When I did the same on Google, I came up with just 3 others, all in player collectors hands (Schmidt, Ryan & Rickey).

I looked around as well and came up empty handed. Only found someone had a sheet on The Bench FS back in 2008. Thread was 404 now though.

Maybe I'm confusing yrs but didn't topps sell the complete sticker set in strip form at retail?

I remember buying it as a kid but forgot the yr.

If it was the rare the Donnie would sell for more than a finsky...just sayin

The 1984 stickers are done with either 1 sticker or 2 smaller stickers per panel. The box for the 1984 stickers have a 5 panel strip and 2 full size cards on the bottom, but it is a box bottom, not a sticker panel...weird.

Maybe it was 83 you are thinking about, as they did test strip issue for that year as well apparently.....

here is what the " Regular" issue Mattingly looks like...
