Let's celebrate Presidents' Day with one of the weirdest little sets from the Topps sixties: 1967's Who Am I? Released as a 44-card set, the first of two incarnations of the set featured its subjects under a scratch-off layer, like a lottery scratch ticket. The subject's name is printed on the card below the scratch-off question layer. (The second incarnation was 42 cards and did not feature the scratch-off layer.)
I'm not sure how I found out about this set, but I love it and have been trying to finish the set for a long time (only recently did I finally complete it). The fright wigs, the buck teeth, the cigars and clown makeup, the Hippie clothing, the sunglasses—it's all too much to pass up.
Much like Topps's earlier nonsports sets featuring famous figures from history, many of its subjects are U.S. presidents (13, to be exact), not to mention three first ladies. It also sprinkles in a few famous baseball players, including Sandy Koufax, one year after his retirement. So now, for your scrolling pleasure, sit back and enjoy the garish costumed wonder that is 1967 Topps Who Am I?
