1961 Topps AUTOGRAPHED #468 John Callison w/PSA/DNA LOA (Phillies,deceased)

Hartland later joined with Krause Publications, to create the SCD Authentic series - the original 18 in different poses. Hartland Figurines are amazingly beautiful and exquisitely detailed with painted pinstripes and wood grained bats.

The 1-1/2 inch plastic coins, almost the same each year, came in many colors with several rare and perhaps even 1-of-1, making a "master" set almost impossible. Add in the variations and you can imagine the task.

See sportscollectorsdaily for great 1955,1959 & 1960 Armour baseball coins article.

1963 had it's share of well known rookies including the most expensive 1960's rookie PETE ROSE !!!
Other TOP ROOKIES were Hall-of-Famers Tony Oliva, Willie Stargell, and Gaylord Perry plus stars like Bill Freehan and Rusty Staub.

An interesting card is #522 Rookie Stars picturing the White Sox Gary Peters and (3) others. The interesting part is that Gary Peters had his own Topps card in 1962, and 1961 and even 1960 !!! Seems his career may have been in reverse.
