1968 Topps back of card difference

[JohnMark]

Someone asked if a card I have from 1968 is a Milton Bradley. Not sure how to tell. Here is a pic of the back. Would appreciate hearing from any experts. Thanks.

I think it all has to do with the front of the card. The MBs have a white stripe. The back will also have the color of the 1969 Topps football back instead of the regular 1968 Topps back color.

I've probably read the explanation ten times in my life and I still never understand how to tell the difference. Oddly, someone just started a thread within the last few weeks on CU and it ended up getting the absolute best explanation I've ever read form the master of the 68 MB. I thinnk he said he has thousands. I'll see if I can find the thread.

Okay, I found it. Bishop contacted Carlton Miller and he was kind enough to explain the whole fiasco. This should help you.

Thanks! And Greenwell was a favorite of mine as a kid. Probably have 20-30 rookies somewhere.
