1981 Topps Baseball Cards Checklist & Values
For the first time in many years, Topps had to share the baseball card
market with others. Donruss and Fleer entered the market with their own
1981 sets. When collector's heard they were thrilled. When they saw
the Donruss and Fleer cards they were many sighs of disappointment.
1981 will always be remembered for "FERNANDO MANIA" !!!
Fernando did not make the Hall-of-Fame and he even had to share
his rookie card with another player, but he had more impact during
the 1981 season then anyone.
Other rookies included Hall-of-Famers Tim Raines and Harold Baines.
Kirk Gibson's rookie is also here. Not a Hall-of-Famer, but who
can forget his home run off the then unhittable Dennis Eckersley ?

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.

Are sports cards valuable ?
Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value,
others go up and some can even become very valuable.
Card values are based on many factors:
player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest.
A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.
Q: What are some ways to collect cards ?
* Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears),
players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George &
Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)
"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue.
On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common
while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
