We study an infinite class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. This generalizes a sequence of sparse polynomials which arises in a natural way as graph theoretic polynomials. After deriving some basic identities, we obtain properties concerning monotonicity and log-concavity, as well as identities involving derivatives. We also prove upper and lower bounds on the moduli of the zeros of these polynomials.
