Now these are 1965 Topps Embossed, The President's portion anyway.
I'm not sure if this is all of them, but I believe this is all that I have. I say believe because I am not positive. Things are still scattered.

Unlike the baseball set, the pictures actually resemble the person they are supposed to.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts, too. A lot better with these.
DeleteI'm familiar with the '65 Topps Embossed baseball cards but had no Idea they did this fro any other sets. Some of these look very sharp, Grover Cleveland in particular.
ReplyDeleteTopps did a set called Presidents & famous Americans in 65' too. These are part of that 44 card set.
DeleteNever seen this, pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty neat. I feel like I'm looking at a coin, but I'm not
ReplyDeleteDon't know if I have ever seen those. I like the darker backgrounds better.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of the Baseball '65 Embossed. I wasn't aware that they had done the Presidents & famous Americans. Nice historical edition.
ReplyDeleteMore cool POTUS stuff.
ReplyDeleteGood Job!👍
I wonder if McKinley and Kennedy are in black because they got assassinated...
ReplyDeleteLove this set. Amazing how much better i looks than the baseball embossed (both in the likenesses and the design). I only have one, Hoover, which it looks like you're missing. Is also interesting how the assassinated guys are black cards and the still-living (at the time) ones got white cards.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Topps made the McKinley and Kennedy cards black, because they were assassinated.
ReplyDeleteThese are nice. I wonder what the backgrounds are; I assume the black is for assassinated.
