1968 Baseball Marbles, Creative Creations
These clear plastic 3/4" marbles contained paper inserts with the
player's portrait on front and facsimile autograph on back. Issued in collectible blister packs with 20 marbles. The blister packs measure 9-3/4" x 10-1/2". The marbles were sealed on front; the pack’s back featured a design with around 60 facsimile signatures. 
The package mentioned 24 series of 20 marbles each (480 total)
but only 120 different marbles were actually created. 
One of the more interesting collectibles from the late 1960's, they are
still sought after by both team & player collectors.

1986 Topps Baseball Cards |
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.
