1960 Leaf Baseball Cards


1960 Leaf Baseball Box 1960 Leaf Baseball Wrapper 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.
1960 Leaf Jim Grant

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.

1960 Leaf #58 Hal Smith
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.

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, Football, Basketball & Hockey Memorabilia Cards

It's cool to have a card of your favorite player.
It's even cooler to have your favorite player's jersey or bat.
Well just think how cool it is to have a card of your favorite player embedded with a piece of his bat or jersey that he used in a real major league game !!!
That's the concept that Upper Deck dazzled the hobby with in 1996. Ever since the hobby has been in love with Game-Used memorabilia cards and they have become a staple of sportscard collecting. Originally they were very scarce inserts with less than 1 every few boxes. Now these insert cards are so popular that many products include one in every pack.

Be sure you visit our Game-Used card section with nearly 1,000 available at discount prices.
