The 132-card Canadian-printed 1985 Topps Mini Test issue measured 10% smaller than the regular issue (2-3/8" x 3-9/32" vs. 2-1/2" x 3-1/2") and employed a whiter and crisper O-Pee-Chee-like cardstock, thereby resulting in far superior images with rich bold colors unlike most Topps issues from the 1980s. The Beckett Almanac estimates that 100 or less of each card exists, approximately 2/3 of which were printed with complete backs, like the offered group. Included are #s: 12, 15, 17, 25, 44, 65, 68, 72, 75, 82, 88, 91, 95, 96, 109, 113, 114, 117, 120, 121 (Checklist), 128, 148, 150 (Rice), 151, 154, 156, 160, 165, 170, 178, 185, 190, 198, 201, 205, 340 (Yount), 352 (Morgan). Cards range from NM to MINT with some surefire candidates for GEM MINT.
