For years, I mistakenly thought that this set used gold foil.
I have come to learn that 1965 Topps Embossed used no foil at all.
The cards were embossed (raised lettering and images) using pressure printed on standard cardboard.

The set was Issued as a test-style or specialty set, not part of the flagship release amd was visually flashy for the era, but the look was achieved purely through texture, not by using metallic material.

1965 Topps Embossed #19. Roberto Clemente ⭐
The 1965 Topps embossed was the Topps Baseball Card Company's first attempt at using foil in a product.
It's a 72-card set of unique, 3-D, gold-foil inserts randomly included in 1965 Topps wax packs, featuring raised profile images of star players like Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays on either blue (American League) or red (National League) backgrounds. The cards are noted for their condition sensitivity due to the easily scratched gold foil and raised profile.

Hi friends and card folk. I hope you had a great day!🤝
