1960 Nu-Card Baseball Hi-Lites
Checklist & Prices


This 72-card set of large (3-1/4" x 5-3/8") cards called 'Hi-Lites' were issued by Nu-Card, Inc. Printed in red and black, the card fronts resembled a newspaper front page headline with photo.

The backs had trivia questions with answer and also sent you to another card with more info.

Cards #1-#18 can also be found with just black printing and blank-backed. They are quite rare ! The last time I checked, out of (200) 1960 Nu-Cards on eBay, NONE were the black only variations ! Other than #1 Ruth, black only cards are nearly identical differing only in print color and copyright. The black only cards had a "CVC" copyright while the regular black/red issue was "NCI" (Nu-Card Inc.).

Authentic Major League SIGNED
Game-Used LINEUP Cards (PSA)


Game-Used Lineup cards These are the official lineup cards SIGNED BY THE MANAGER & given to the home plate umpire before the game with the team's line-up & batting order !!! Making them even neater, often managers made lineup changes on these cards throughout the game. These official lineup cards were SIGNED BY THE MANAGER and presented to the home plate umpire before the game. They detailed the team's lineup and batting order. Managers often made lineup changes on these cards throughout the game, making them even more unique.

Collectors say "They are official documents of a particular game, so they are absolutely historically relevant. The manager, he was the general in the war. Imagine owning Eisenhower's list of who he wanted to go into battle, and then he signed it !!! Imagine what that would be worth?"

The first dugout lineup cards were seen around 1960. Along with lineup cards, most ended up in the trash after games, making them quite rare today. MLB saw the light and started marketing them directly in the 2000's.

Astronomical prices have been paid for cards from special games.
$165,010 for the Red Sox dugout lineup card from Game 4 of the 2004 World Series.
$138,000 in 2007 for 1st ever All-Star Game batting order cards.
$ 40,000 for batting order cards and the pen used to fill them out from Cal Ripken's 2,130th & 2,131st games.

Baseball card collecting terms (part C)

Cabinet Card Were oversized trading cards featuring paintings issued mostly 1910-1915.

Card Show is a gathering of dealers & collectors looking to buy/sell/trade sports cards and memorabilia.

Card Stock is the material a card is printed on. Usually paper-based, today companies play with the card stock and sometimes it appears to be wood or leather or see-thru acrylic ...

Cello Pack is a card pack whose wrapper is see-thru plastic. Usually the top & bottom cards are seen. Unopened cello packs showing major stars and rookies sell for heavy premiums.

Centering is the balance of the borders: top/bottom & left/right. On perfectly-centered cards, top/bottom borders match as do the left/right borders. Centering is presented as a set of numbers & directions and often included with the grade. Perfectly-centered is "50/50 t/b" AND "50/50 l/r". As centering gets worse, one number increases and the other decreases. For example: 90/10 t/b is considered extremely off-center top to bottom. The numbers add up to 100 (50/50, 60/40, 90/10 ...).

Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) A document used to verify legitimacy of a collectible. NOTE: Keep in mind that COA's are easier to fake then autographs.

Common A card of a non-star player is considered a "Common" as opposed to cards of a star players or specialty/subset cards such as league leaders, teams cards, World Series cards...

Condition (Grade) Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, creases, print flaws ... all combine to determine a card's condition or grade. Along with rarity/scarcity it is the major factor in a card's value.

Crease Defect usually caused by bending the card. Hard to see, or not, a crease lowers the card's grade (VG or lower) and greatly diminishes it's value.
