TOP ROOKIE was the Yankee's ill-fated catcher Thurman Munson.

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.

Protecting and Storing your Card Collection

There are many different ways to protect, organize and store your sports cards.

Soft Sleeves also called "penny sleeves" are the most basic protection for your cards. Made of thin plastic, they come in packs of 100 and are very inexpensive.

Top Loads are rigid plastic holders and a step up in protection over "soft sleeves". Called top-loads because you place the card thru a thin opening at the top. They come in many sizes for regular cards upto 8-1/2 x 11 for magazines and even larger.

Screw-Down Acrylic Holders
These are sometimes used for better, more expensive cards. Small screws hold two pieces of clear acrylic together. In a variety of sizes and thickness that not only protect the card but can funciton as a paper weight or display item.

There are also Single-Screw Screw-Downs that use only 1 screw to seal the holder. They are easier to use and provide the same type of protectionas regular screwdowns and they are also much less expensive costing as little as .30 in quantity while 1 inch or 2 inch acrylic screw-downs can cost upto several dollars.
