"These amazing test issue pieces, produced by Topps in 1965, enjoyed little or no commercial distribution. Perhaps a couple of packs of these super-rare, full-color items made it to the shelf at the mythical "Brooklyn candy store" but, for the most part, fans of the irreverent comedian were left with only the "standard," black and white Topps gumcards of their favorite show. Offered is a 36-card collection of color-photo Soupy Sales cards featuring different scenes than were seen in the nationally released series showcasing the same subject. Color-photo Soupy Sales cards are immensely difficult to find, and their multi-hued appearance lends an entirely new, bright perspective to the cards' aesthetic."
