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.

1956 Topps were slightly larger (3-3/4" by 2 5/8") horizontal cards
similar to 1955 Topps cards, some even sharing portraits with 1954 and 1955
Topps cards. Team cards & checklists appeared for the first time in 1956.

Topps created these in their 1958 High Number issue and has continued the practice fairly regularly to date. Such cards are usually designated in price guides with the abbreviation of AS.
