1970 Topps Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values
At 720 cards, the 1970 Topps set became there largest ever.
As is common with most Topps sets, the set was issued in
several series and as usual, the higher numbers ended up
being scarcer. The semi-hi's (#547 to #633) are scarcer
with the scarcest being the high #s (#634 to #720).
TOP ROOKIE was the Yankee's ill-fated catcher Thurman Munson.

Hall-of-Famer rookie cards with Fergie Jenkins, Jim Palmer &
Don Sutton.
The very scarce high numbers, many being even scarce short prints,
make completing this set a challenge for collectors.

Autographed 1961 Topps Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values
Following autographs have auction house LOA's (Letter of Authenticity) from
hobby's top vintage card authenticators for auction houses PSA/DNA & James Spence !!!
The 1961 Topps baseball card set (#1-#598) only had 587 cards
because of missing numbers. Also there are 2 cards #463
(#463 Braves Team card was to be card #426).
Ugh !!! The 1961 Topps capless players !!!
Picture your grand-dad. Without a cap. Life was obviously much tougher
back then. Baseball expansion created the problem.
Los Angeles Angels added, Washington Senators became Minnesota Twins,
and Washington got a new Senators franchise.
The autographs actually make the "capless" cards more attractive !!!

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948.
Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no
mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets
beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued
some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction
of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911,
modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
