1970 Topps Baseball Cards |
1963 Bazooka ALL-TIME GREATSIn 1963, competitive pressures compelled Topps to add a bonus to it's 1963 Bazooka boxes. These cards were inserted inside boxes of Bazooka bubblegum at 5 per box. The 41-card set of Hall-of-Famers features black and white photos of the player inside a gold plaque. A short biography appears on the back, a first (and last) for Bazooka. The 41 numbered cards measure 1 9/16" by 2 1/2". Scarcer silver colored plaques also exist. |
1964/1965 Challenge the Yankees
Baseball Board Game"Challenge The Yankees" was a popular baseball board game from Hasbro in 1964 & 1965.
(50) player cards: (25) Yankees and (25) All-Star opponents,
made the game a treasure trove for collectors. 4" x 5-1/2" cards
came in blank-backed perforated sheets on a fairly fragile paper
stock.
1964/1965 cards are nearly the same with a stat line the only way
to distinguish. A couple cards even have same stats so no way to tell
them apart.

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.
