1969 Topps Football Four-in-One

Thru the late 1960's, early 1970's, Topps continued to try new things as test issues and inserts. 1969 was no different and along came the 1969 Topps Football Four-in-Ones. Each card was a perforated panel of (4) mini-cards. Special mini-card albums were also issued as inserts to hold the mini-cards. Each album had room for a complete team set of (10) mini-cards.
There was one variation in which print color and background on Bill Triplett's and Charlie Johnson's mini-cards varied. Interestingly, a few of the players on these mini-cards never appeared on their own regular card .

1960 Leaf Baseball Cards

The 1960 Leaf baseball card set featured 144 regular-sized high-gloss photo quality cards. Back then Topps had a monopoly on baseball cards packaged with gum or candy so Leaf packaged their cards with marbles. The marbles were from Sports Novelties Inc. and the cards, called 1960 Leaf, bear copyrights by Sports Novelties Inc.
Hall of Famers Luis Aparicio, Orlando Cepeda and Jim Bunning were the top stars in the set. The set came in two series, with the second series high numbers (#73-#144) produced in very limited quantities.

Scarcest card in the set is the corrected version of Jim 'Mudcat' Grant (#25). The more common error variation pictured Brooks Lawrence on the front with Jim Grant's info on back.
To promote this set, Leaf also produced (8) very scarce Big-Head PROOF variations.

There were also (3) different variations of the back of Hal Smith's card #58. Leaf also produced (8) very scarce and extremely expensive, Big-Head PROOF variations to promote their set.

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.
